Ingredients
  

  • 10 –12 mint leaves — fresh bright ones
  • 1 lime — cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp sugar or syrup either works
  • 3 oz white rum use what you like
  • 2 oz coconut cream not milk — cream is richer
  • 1 oz coconut water optional, but makes it lighter

  • ice — crushed or cubed
  • mint sprig + lime slice for garnish

Equipment

  • a tall glass
  • A spoon
  • a shake
  • Ice

Method
 

How to Make It (Quick and Real)
    Step 1: Smash up the base
    1. Drop mint, lime, and sugar into your glass. Press gently — not too hard, you don’t want bitter mint.
    2. It should smell fresh and sharp, like a summer breeze through your kitchen. That’s your sign it’s ready.
    Step 2: Add the good stuff
    1. Pour in rum, coconut cream, and a splash of coconut water. Stir. Don’t worry if it looks cloudy — it’s supposed to.
    Step 3: Ice and fizz
    1. Add ice until the glass is almost full. Top with club soda. Stir gently — don’t kill the bubbles.
    2. Step 4: Garnish & breathe
    3. A mint sprig, lime slice, done. Take a second. Look at it. You did that.
    4. Now sip. That’s creamy, minty, cold bliss.
