Method
- Place 6-8 fresh mint leaves and a small splash of lime juice into the bottom of a tall glass. Gently muddle to release the mint oils without shredding the leaves.
- Pour the mango puree, remaining fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and white rum into the glass over the muddled mint.
- Fill the glass three-quarters full with finely crushed ice.
- Insert a swizzle stick or long bar spoon. Hold the handle between your palms and vigorously spin back and forth for 10-15 seconds while moving up and down, until the outside of the glass is frosty.
- Top the glass with more crushed ice to form a small mound or dome at the rim.
- Generously dash the aromatic bitters over the top of the ice dome to create a bright red layer.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, thin slices of mango, a lime wheel, and an edible flower. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
To batch for parties, mix the rum, mango, lime juice, and simple syrup ahead of time. Muddle the mint and swizzle with ice individually per glass.
