3 parts rum
1 part lime juice
1 part sugar syrup
about 8 fresh mint leaves
6 parts sparkling water (soda)

ice cubes

longdrink glass

Put the lime juice, the sugar syrup and the fresh mint leaves in a longdrink glass. Squeeze the mint leaves. Now add the rum and fill the glass with ice cubes. Add some sparkling water and stir slightly. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Fresh mint stays fresh for a while if you put it in a small plastic bag and this plastic bag in the fridge.

If possible use fresh squeezed lime juice. There´s at least 1/2 oz. (= 1,5 cl) in each lime.
