Tips for the Cubana Sorrel Cocktail
Adding the soda water to the glass at the very end instead of putting it in the shaker prevents excessive fizzing and helps the soda bubbles stay fresh for longer. Gently clap the Cuban mint between your palms before adding it as a garnish to release its refreshing aroma from the very first moment.
