I like to make this cocktail by boiling water in a kettle., pour into a 32 oz pitcher, add 2 lemons quartered. 1 cup of sugar, 1 tsp salt —stir and let cool. The lemonade should have a salty sweet flavor. Then when you’re ready to make the cocktail…pour 4oz, of lemonade, 1 oz white rum, and 1 oz st. Germain, into a glass and stir well with a little ice. Add a mint sprig for garnish or lemon if you prefer . It’s a beautiful refreshing drink for summer.
