A summertime favorite when mint in the garden is out of control. These are the measurements to make a pitcher in a pinch- not the authentic cuban recipe with sugar crystals!
- 1 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 2 c lime juice
- 1 1/3 c simple syrup
- 3 c rum
- 6 c soda water
Crush mint leaves in morter & pestle, add rum. Transfer rum and some of mint to pitcher, add the rest of the ingredients, mix and enjoy over ice!
