Spicy chili-sugar rim enhances lime and mint flavors in Cuban rum cocktail.
Ingredients:
  • 170g (3/4 cup) white sugar
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 egg whites
  • 16 fresh mint sprigs
  • 160ml (2/3 cup) lime cordial
  • 2 limes, coarsely chopped
  • 24 ice cubes
  • 320ml white rum
  • Soda water, to serve
  • 2 long fresh red chillies (optional), halved, deseeded, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Combine the sugar and chilli flakes in a mortar and crush with a pestle until finely ground. Alternatively, use a coffee or spice grinder. Transfer the mixture to a small plate.
  • Whisk the egg whites with a fork in a bowl until frothy. Dip the rim of each serving glass into the egg whites and then into the chili mixture to coat. Repeat with the rest of the serving glasses. Let it sit until the coating sets.
  • Split the mint, cordial, and lime evenly into the glasses. Muddle gently using the end of a rolling pin. Divide the ice cubes and rum among the glasses, then fill with soda water. Optional: Garnish each glass with a slice of chili before serving.
