Ron Matusalem Platino

Collins glass (14 oz.)

iSi Soda Siphon.

Mojito

Into a 14oz Collins glass, add:

1 ounce demerara sugar syrup

1 1/2 ounces lime juice (fresh!)

6 fresh mint leaves

Gently muddle this together in the glass. The goal is similar to spanking the mint - you want to break some cells to release the mint's oil but not shred it.

Add:

2 ounces Dominican Republic silver rum (Ron Matusalem Platino)

Stir to combine.

Fill 3/4 of the way with ice, stir until glass frosts.

Top with soda. Stir again to combine.
