Spiced Golden Rum Old Cuban

Step-by-Step

Method:

1. Add mint, lime juice, and sugar syrup to a shaker – gently press the mint to release its oils (don’t bash it too hard).
   
2. Add the rum and bitters – then fill the shaker with ice.
   
3. Shake well – for 10–15 seconds until nicely chilled.
   
4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass – fine straining removes any mint bits and keeps the texture smooth.
   
5. Top with Champagne – pour slowly to keep the bubbles lively.
   
6. Garnish – with a fresh mint sprig or a twist of lime peel across the rim.
