Invented long ago in Havana’s Bodeguita Del Medio bar in Havanna, this drink has been enjoyed by Cubans for generations.
2 tender sprigs of fresh mint
2 teaspoons of caster or brown sugar
30mls fresh lime juice
50mls Havana Club Anejo
Soda water
Muddle one mint spring with the simple syrup or sugar and the lime juice in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add the rest of the ingredients and shake with ice. Strain over cracked ice over the highball glass, top with soda, and garnish with the remaining spring of mint.
