The cocktail should be prepared directly in the glass, if possible, of the tumbler glass type. You need to pour the sugar, the juice of half a lime and mix. Then add the mint leaves and sparkling water.

The mint leaves are crushed to release the scent and then the ice cubes and the rum are added. Mix well and add a few more ice cubes before serving.

Pina Colada

The Pina Colada is a refreshing and delicious long drink type cocktail , ideal to drink in the afternoon by the pool or in the evening to cool off from the heat, accompanying an aperitif.

The main ingredients are: 6 cml of white rum, 9 cl of pineapple juice, 3 cl of coconut cream, 80 g of crushed ice, 1.5 cl of squeezed lime (optional), 1 pineapple wedge for garnish.

The preparation is quite simple, you need to put the rum, the pineapple juice, the coconut cream, the pineapple slice, the lime and the crushed ice in the blender and blend everything for 20 seconds.

The cocktail obtained must be frothy . Pour into a large goblet and garnish with a slice of pineapple and some leaves of the fruit.

Spritz

The spritz is another long drink widely consumed during the summer , it adapts to any time of day and any meal. There are several variations, also based on the geographical area in which you are located. For example, in Treviso, Prosecco is used and, optionally, Campari or Aperol, while in Udine, Tocai Friuliano.

The best known variant of Spritz is the Venetian one made up of 3 parts of prosecco, 2 of Aperol Bitter and 1 splash of seltzer.

Whatever recipe you choose, the important thing is to always remember the proportion of 3,2,1 . If you want certain quantities, then just follow these doses of the Venetian spritz: 6 cl of prosecco, 4 cl of Aperol Bitter and a splash of seltzer.
