Orange-Mango Mojito

To make an Orange-Mango Mojito:

In an empty Highball Glass, add 3 fresh Mint Sprigs, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and a splash of Soda Water. Squeeze one Lime Wedge into the mixture and drop the lime wedge into the glass. "Muddle" all of the above ingredients (see bartender's note below). Add ice to the glass. Then, pour 1 1/2 oz Cruzan Mango Rum (*) and 1/2 oz Triple Sec into the glass. Fill the remainder of the glass with Soda Water. Using a mixing tin, roll (or gently shake) the drink and pour back into the Highball Glass. Garnish with an Orange Wedge. Serve.

Bartender's note: "Muddling" is basically mashing the ingredients together using a muddle stick. A muddle stick can be purchased separately. However, my preference is to purchase a bar spoon that has a muddle stick on the opposite end.
