The Czech Mojito

Ingredients 2 spoons demerara sugar 3/4 Sliced Lime 8-10 lime leaves Light Rum 1 large mint leaf or sprig Sparkling water

Add two bar spoons of demerara sugar, three quarters of fresh sliced limes and eight to ten fresh lime leaves to a highball and muddle the contents. Fill glass with crushed ice and then pour in light rum until the glass has only around an inch remaining. Add a full mint leaf (one the length of the glass) and the remaining lime slice. Fill to top with sparkling water and stir from the bottom up using the bar spoon so the lime, mint leaves and sugar sit all the way through the glass. A strong version but an absolute winner.
