Anatomy of a Drink: Italian Mojito at La Fuga

The restaurant specializes in coastal Italian cuisine, handcrafted pizza and seasonal cocktails.

Beverage Director Nathan Berumen provides a twist on the classic Mojito with raspberry simple syrup and a topping of procescco.

Ingredients:

1 ½ oz Bacardi Light rum

¾ oz    Lime juice

¾ oz    Raspberry simple syrup

 6         Mint leaves

1oz      Prosecco

Method:

Place mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and use a cocktail muddler to press it until it becomes aromatic. Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake it vigorously until the ingredients are completely combined and chilled. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker over a glass filled with ice and top your glass with prosecco.
