A delightful and refreshing cocktail that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the zesty flavor of lime, perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
8 pieces lime
1 bunch fresh mint leaves
1 cup strawberries
4 cups club soda
1 cup rum
Method
Begin by spreading a thin layer of sugar on a flat dish. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rims of 8 cocktail glasses, then dip them into the sugar to create a sweet crust. Set the glasses aside for later.
In a robust glass pitcher, extract the juice from all the lime wedges. Add the squeezed lime halves back into the pitcher along with fresh mint leaves, sliced strawberries, and a cup of sugar. Use a muddler to gently mash the mixture, letting the flavors combine.
Pour in club soda and rum into the pitcher, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Serve the vibrant concoction over ice in the prepared glasses.
