Réunion Surf Bar

• tory burch's blog took me to Reunion Surf Bar... New York's laidback escape. ingredients are below for their signature concoction called the Mermaid. it sounds like the perfect cocktail for August... summer's last call.

2 oz. white rum

1.5 oz. lime juice

1.5 oz. simple syrup

0.5 cup fresh mint leaves

1 heaping cup ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse two or three times then blend on high until smooth. Should be thin enough to pour out of blender with a good shake. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and peeled fresh sugarcane.
