Ingredients

  • 1 tsp white sugar

  • a dash of Angostura bitters
  • lime slices, to serve
  1. Put the sugar in the bottom of a glass and pour the citrus juice over to just cover it. Add 2 long sprigs of mint. Muddle (gently pound) the juice, sugar and mint.
  2. Add ice to the top of the glass, fill the glass two-thirds full with soda water.
  3. Add the rum.
