Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 8-10 mint leaves
- 1 oz agave syrup, or simple syrup
- 1 oz lime juice
- 3 oz rum
- 4 oz soda water
- optional garnishes: lime slice, small strawberry, sprig of mint
Instructions
- Mash up strawberries and pass them through a sieve into a bowl, pressing down to get as much juice as possible.
- Combine strawberry juice and mint leaves in a shaker. Gently muddle the mint, giving one or two twists with a smooth ended muddler.
- Add the agave, lime juice, and rum to the shaker alone with ice. Shake well.
- Pour into two tall ice filled glasses and top up with soda water. Add a straw and garnish as desired.
Notes
- Rum: I would recommend either white or gold.
- Strawberries: You can use frozen. Let thaw and work thru the sieve as directed.
- Make Ahead: Make the base up to several hours ahead. Pour into glasses and add the soda water when serving.
