Cuba Libertine

 

There's many a version of the mojito out there and they're all fine drinks but this one is the best! Know why? I replaced the club soda with sparkling wine (and the white rum with a spiced one!). Drinks are always better with sparkling wine.

2 oz. Sailor Jerry spiced rum
2 tbsp. simple syrup
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Bunch of mint leaves
Sparking wine (dry)

Muddle the mint with the syrup and juice, add ice and rum and shake. Pour over ice and top off with sparkling wine. Stir and enjoy.
