Description & Prep
Shake the mint, the aged rum, the lime, the syrup and the bitters with ice, strain into the chilled glass and top with sparkling wine. It is a mojito that swapped the soda for champagne and the white rum for an aged one, created by Audrey Saunders in New York in the 2000s. It comes out more elegant and far less innocent than the original.
