Preparation

1. In a tall glass, place two sprigs of mint.
2. Add sugar, lime juice, and a splash of soda water.
3. Muddle gently, to release the essential oil and blend the flavors (You don't have to crush the leaves, just macerate them a little, without breaking them).
4. Add ice cubes to fill 3/4 of the glass.
5. Pour the rum over the ice (this will help us to temper the cocktail).
6. Top with soda water.
7. Mash with the bar spoon harmoniously to integrate all the flavors and temper the cocktail.
8. Garnish with a sugar cane stick and a sprig of mint, tapping it carefully on the edge of the glass to extract its aroma.
