1 .5 oz. Aged Rum
2 oz. Prosecco or sparkling wine
3/4 oz. Fresh lime juice
1 oz. simple syrup
2 Splashes Angostura bitters
6-8 Fresh mint leaves
.5 x 2 " Lime or grapefruit peel- Optional garnish
1 Splash of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
Directions
Muddle your fresh mint and simple syrup in the bottom of a shaker.
Add your Rum, bitters, grapefruit juice, and lime juice to your shaker.
Then add ice and shake until ice cold and a bit frothy.
Strain into a coupe glass and top with Prosecco.
Garnish with a decorative lime or grapefruit peel (see notes) or a simple lemon twist and fresh mint leaves.
Recipe Note
To create a decorative lemon peel garnish:
• Carefully use a paring knife to peel a 2" by 2" piece of the lemon peel.
• Flip it peel side down on a cutting board and gently scrape the white part down so that it's thin enough to cut with an exact-o blade.
• Using a pen or pencil, draw out your design- geometric, leaves, or any design that is not to intricate on the back side of the peel.
• Then using a sharp exact-o knife or paring knife ( I have found that the exact-o is easier and you will be able to cut out smaller pieces with greater ease) cut along your outline of drawing.
• Once you have finished your design, use a tiny decorative clothes pin to attach it to your glass of choice, or you can make a small slit in the middle of your design to slide onto your glass.
