The rebujito hails from the south of Spain, where the local wine is fortified sherry and the high temperatures call for something cool and refreshing. Lemon-lime soda is added to a base of sherry, muddled with mint, mixed, and served, a favorite for local festivals.
Ingredients
-
3 ounces dry sherry, preferably manzanilla or fino
-
6 ounces lemon-lime soda (such as 7-Up or Sprite)
-
5-6 leaves of mint
-
1 slice of lemon
Directions
-
Add large pieces of ice and the mint leaves to a glass. Pour the sherry over the ice. Pour the lemon-lime soda slowly over the mixture.
-
Insert a long-handled spoon to the bottom of the glass and gently give a half stir. Garnish with the lemon slice and, if desired, another sprig of mint and serve.
