Cocktail Description
The Minty Rumba is summer's answer to the whispered question, "What would happen if a Mojito and a Daiquiri had a sophisticated love child?"
This refreshing cocktail combines the herbal brightness of muddled mint with the natural sweetness of honey and apple juice, all balanced by tart lime and the clean complexity of Plantation 3 Stars white rum. The result is a bright, crisp sipper with subtle layers of flavor—orchard sweetness gives way to vibrant citrus and finishes with cool mint notes that linger pleasantly. A Minty Rumba makes an excellent aperitif for outdoor dinner parties or a cooling companion for spicy foods like Caribbean jerk chicken or Thai curries. Despite its complex flavor profile, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare, requiring only basic shaking technique and fine straining to ensure a silky-smooth presentation in the elegant coupe glass.
