Ingredients
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
Cocktails
- 2 oz white rum depends on taste
- 1 oz simple syrup cooled, recipe above, depends on taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
- 6 whole mint leaves between 4-8 is perfect + 1 stem for garnish
- club soda/soda water
- crushed ice
Instructions
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- Place strawberries, lemon juice, water and sugar in a small saucepan
- Gently heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and strawberries have disintegrated into a compote - about 10 minutes.
- Strain the simple syrup, keep or discard the strawberries and set the syrup aside to cool.
For the Cocktails
- In a tall glass, muddle/crush your whole mint leaves and simple syrup to gently crush the mint and release the flavour. Optional - add some of the leftover crushed strawberries from the simple syrup
- Add the rum, lemon juice (if using), and crushed ice.
- Top with club soda and extra mint for garnish.
Notes
Rum - add as much or as little as you want. I used very tall glasses so 2 oz/60ml was perfect.
Simple Syrup - same applies as rum. I don't like my cocktails overly sweet so used 1 oz/30ml
Mint - add 4-8 mint leaves, depending on taste preferences
