Ingredients
10 10 fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 1/2 lime
45 ml 1 1/2 fl oz white rum
30 ml 1 fl oz fresh pineapple juice
60 ml 2 oz club soda
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh pineapple
Ice cubes
Equipment
Highball glass
Muddler
Jigger
Bar spoon
Instructions
- Place the mint leaves and sugar in the bottom of your highball glass.
- Add the lime wedges and muddle gently to release the lime juice and mint oils. (Don’t over-muddle the mint as it can become bitter.)
- Add the chopped pineapple pieces and lightly muddle again.
- Fill the glass about 2/3 full with ice cubes.
- Pour in the white rum and pineapple juice.
- Top with club soda and stir gently with a bar spoon to combine all ingredients.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a small wedge of pineapple.
Notes
- When muddling the mint, press gently to release the oils without tearing the leaves, which can make your cocktail taste bitter.
