This recipe I got from a barman in the beautiful area of Cayo Coco, Cuba. He assured me it is the same recipe that Hemingway used to drink, but I have been told this by everybody inCuba. This recipe was the tastier I had, so this is the one I kept. Read more It is for two drinks - feel free to multiply it (I know I am) and it is a great drink for hot summer evenings. See less
Ingredients
- 1/2 bunch of mint leaves shopping list
- 6 teaspoons of sugar (or sweeter if you prefer) shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon angostura bitter shopping list
- 1 lemon juice shopping list
- 1 oz rum shopping list
- 1 can ice cubes shopping list
- 1 glass cold mineral carbonated water or soda club shopping list
How to make it
- Divide the mint leaves in 2 tall glasses. Do not dice or cut them. Add the sugar ( 3 teaspoons in each glass or more... according to your taste) and divide Angostura bitter (you can find it at local supermarket). You will need a wooden crusher - if you do not have one use a honey spreader - this is what I use - and bruise that mint. Mix it up until sugar melts. Add the lemon juice and the rum and fill halfway the glass with ice. Add soda club/carbonated mineral water to fill the glass. Give it a whirl and enjoy!
