Robert Downey Jr. was interviewed about his alcoholism.
To paraphrase, he said that either someone was an alcoholic or they weren't.
If they weren't, religion was a personal choice.
If they were, they already had a Higher Power and its name was alcohol.
He said that alcohol told him where to go; what to do; who to be friends with; who to avoid; when to work; when to pay bills.
the secret is to crush 3-4 fresh lime wedges with the mint leaves. add 1/2 oz of 2:1 simple syrup and 1.5 to 2 oz of white rum. shake with ice and dirty pour (just dump everything) into a glass, topping with club soda
the oils from the lime skin really send it, vs just lime juice
I guess if you want to be fancy, you could zest a lime, add the juice of half a lime, a bunch of mint, that same .5 oz of 2:1 simple, and 2 oz white rum, hard shake and double strain onto ice, same club soda top
or google "Old Cuban" its fire
