step 1

Add the Granulated Sugar (1 cup) and Water (1 cup) to a small sauce pan. Bring up to a low boil, stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and set the syrup aside to cool.

step 2

Muddle the juice from Lime (1), Fresh Mint Leaves (8), and Simple Syrup (0.8 fl oz) by crushing in a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a muddler, you can use the handle of a wooden spoon.

step 3

Add the Rum (1.5 fl oz), a couple of cubes of Ice (to taste), and Angostura Bitters (2 dashes). Put the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until chilled. Strain into a coupe glass or a short rocks glass.

step 4

Top with Prosecco Wine (2 fl oz). Garnish with a mint leaf and serve.
