Instructions
Squeeze the juice from 1½ limes and blend with the mango to give a smooth purée. Cut the rest of the limes into quarters, and then cut each wedge in half again. Put 2 pieces of lime in a highball glass for each person and add 1 teaspoon of caster sugar and 5-6 mint leaves to each glass. Squish everything together with a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to release all the flavours from the lime and mint. Divide the mango purée between the glasses and add 30ml white rum and a handful of crushed ice to each one, stirring well to mix everything together. Top up with soda water to serve and garnish with extra mint, if you like.
Expert Tips
Fresh Citrus Tip
Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.
Fresh Herb Tip
Gently slap fresh herbs between your palms before adding to your drink. This releases essential oils and aromatics without bruising the leaves or creating bitter flavors.
Presentation Tip
Garnishes aren't just decorative - they add aroma and can be eaten to complement the drink. Match your garnish to key flavors in the recipe for a cohesive experience.
Rum production began in the Caribbean in the 17th century, making it one of the oldest commercial spirits in the Americas.
