Havana Garden
AI-generatedMediumHighball
Sunlit and herbaceous, like a mint-cool breeze cutting through ripe tropical heat on a slow afternoon.
Ingredients
- ◆1 3/4 oz Rum
- ◆3/4 oz Lime juice
- ◆1/2 oz Simple syrup
- ◆1/4 oz Pastis
- ◆8 leaves Fresh mint
- ◆4 leaves Fresh basil
Method
- 11. Gently clap the mint and basil leaves between your palms and drop them into the shaker.
- 22. Add lime juice and simple syrup, then lightly muddle the herbs — just enough to bruise, not shred.
- 33. Add rum and pastis, then fill the shaker with ice.
- 44. Shake hard for 10 seconds.
- 55. Double-strain into a chilled highball glass filled with crushed ice.
- 66. Top with a light spray of pastis if desired and serve immediately.
PRO TIP
Use a white agricole rum rather than a molasses-based rum — its grassy, vegetal character harmonises with the herbs instead of competing with them.
Garnish — mint sprig and basil leaf bouquet
