The Casa Surgey
Tom Surgey puts his innovate spin on a Champagne Mojito using Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum.
What you’ll need
- 14 mint leaves
- 60ml Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

- Slap the mint leaves in the palm of your hand and add to the bottom of a highball glass. Fill with crushed ice. Add the sugar syrup and fresh lime juice, followed by the rum.
- Take a bar spoon with a flat bottom and use the disc to churn the mixture. You’re looking for a frosting on the outside of the glass so that you know the mix is super cold.

- Take the mint sprig and clap it between your hands to release the oils so that every sip will be accompanied with the aroma from the mint.
