Ingredients
- 1 oz lime juice 30ml (approx ½ lime)
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar simple syrup (see notes)
- 8 mint leaves or slightly more if small leaves
- 1 ½ oz white rum 45ml
- ½ oz licor 43 15ml
- 2 oz pineapple juice 60ml
- 1 oz soda water 30ml, approx
Instructions
- Place the lime juice, coconut sugar syrup and mint leaves in a Collins glass (tall glass) and muddle together to gently release the flavor and smell from the mint (use a muddler if you have one but you can also use eg the end of a wooden spoon).
- Add the rum, licor 43 and pineapple to the glass, along with a few pieces of ice (either chunks or crushed - only enough so about ⅔ - ¾ full) and gently mix all together to combine and chill.
- Add a little more ice, as needed, and top the glass with soda water. Garnish with a slice of lime, pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint (slap it in the palm of your hand to release the aromas first).

Notes
- To make coconut sugar simple syrup, mix together equal parts by volume coconut sugar and water, warm enough so that the sugar dissolves then leave to cool. Store in a jar or bottle in the fridge for use as needed (it will keep a week or so). You can make small or larger quantities as suits. I sometimes simply mix 1tbsp sugar and 1tbsp coconut sugar in a microwavable bowl, warm for around 10 - 15 seconds then stir. If it doesn't dissolve, warm slightly longer. This gives enough for 1 drink plus a little extra.
