How to Build a Gentleman Like Juan
1. Start with the mint: In a tall glass, gently press the mint leaves just enough to release the aroma. Don’t break the stems, that’s the pro move. Bitter mint is not invited to this party.
2. Add the good stuff: Pour in the white rum, then the fresh lime juice. He likes layers not chaos.
3. Sweeten him up: Add the simple syrup. No sugar here Juan’s smooth, not grainy.
4. Mix it gently: Give it a slow stir to bring it all together. Think beach breeze, not blender.
5. Cool him down: Add ice, lots of it. He stays chill under pressure.
6. Finish with a sparkle: Top it off with a splash of soda water, just enough to keep things light.
7. Garnish with flair: A Sweet Sally lime slice and a fresh mint bouquet to finish. He never shows up without looking fresh.
