directions

Step 1

Muddle fresh mint with white rum. Add syrup and citrus. Shake over ice. Double strain and serve straight up in a chilled champagne flute. Top with bubbly.

Step 2

*Kaffir lime leaf syrup: Create a batch of simple syrup: bring equal parts water and equal parts sugar to a gentle boil. Allow to cool.

Step 3

Blanch a generous handful of kaffir lime leaves, then plunge into ice water (to keep that bright green colour). Remove leaves from water and toss leaves and half the simple syrup into a blender, and mix for 20-30 seconds. Add the rest of the simple syrup to the mix and strain.
