Old Cuban

Life is better with bubbles. This less-famous cousin of the mojito keeps the mint and lime, but adds sparkling wine for a crisp, refreshing twist.

Method

1. Gently muddle the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker, reserving a few for the garnish.
2. Add the rum and lime juice alongside a handful of ice, then shake until cold.
3. Double strain into a coupe glass.
4. Top with sparkling wine, and crown with a sprig of mint.
