# Rebujito

Fino's saline, almond-dry edge keeps crisp lemon-lime soda from becoming merely sweet, while mint turns the cold Andalusian highball vividly aromatic.

Strength: 5% ABV before dilution

## Ingredients

- 50 ml [Fino sherry](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/fino-sherry.md)
- 100 ml [Lemon-lime soda](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/lemon-lime-soda.md) — Use a very cold, freshly opened soda with restrained sweetness.

## Glassware

Highball glass

## Garnish

- Mint sprig — Clap the mint gently before placing it in the drink.

## Method

1. Fill a chilled highball glass completely with cubed ice and add the fino sherry.
2. Add the cold lemon-lime soda and lift once gently from bottom to top with a bar spoon.
