An absolutely excellent cocktail. We remade it today using Myers rum and as this has a really bitter touch omitted the angostura and used a lemon/lime mixture..

delicious!!! Lol great taste with a little kick and hint of mint!

Made this with Abuelo 7 Años and a decent but not too pricy prosecco. Decidedly in the general area of a mojito or Queen's Park swizzle flavor profile-wise, but a completely different drinking experience served short. Lovely!

Perfect. Just a hint of mint which is not overwhelming. The rum and lime adds a great tropical flavour. Went wonderfully with a spicy orange peel beef stir fry.

I call this a "sparkling mojito". I like it better than a traditional mojito.
Be sure to double strain to keep the mint pieces out.

I would like your opinion Simon on this idea, what about if I made this as a Punch , respecting the proportions ? Am having a small party and made several punches before but they required lots of ingredients and more work. I was thinking of making this in a punch bowl, add the champagne just at serving time and add big ice balls to slow down the dilution. Would this work ? I havve a nice punch bowl with nice little tea cup style serving glasses.

Worth trying, Nathalie. Perhaps test with a mini version first. Hitting the right dilution will be key. I use a huge loaf of ice I make in a silicon bread mould for punches.

Oh my. Never came across this one on here and why not I ask myself, well many thousands of cocktails…. I discovered this one at the Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo a week ago (wedding anniversary) and I was blown away ( well not literally I didn’t fall off my chair lol). I made this since at home and again it was fabulous even if I say so myself.

I’ve made this twice, and I’ve found that really the champagne matters more than anything, it goes from almost tart to a true summer drink

Waw I made it with prosecco and this was a treat :-)
I made it soon after again with another prosecco but it didn't blow me off my socks. Although the prosecco wasn't cheap, the taste wasn't great at all and spoiled the cocktail.
Does anyone have any suggestions for sparkling wines? Even better if the brand has small bottles because I'm not a professional :-)

Yes, you’re right on this so use a decent Cremant from either Alsace, Bourgogne or Loire. Or a Blanquette de Limoux; all using the méthode traditionnelle but can’t be called champagne because of the AOP. I can only comment on French regional ones because I know them best.
If not any other good quality sparkling white wine would not ruin you’re cocktail.

I use Freixenet cava, it comes in 200ml bottles. I always have those in the fridge for making single serve cocktails at home. If I am making more cocktails then I use a half bottle of Waitrose blanc de blanc champagne. I have found both of those to make delicious cocktails.
