Fill a tall glass with 8–10 fresh mint leaves and pour in the Parfait d'Amour.
Using a muddler, gently press the mint 2–3 times to release its aromatic oils. Do not over-muddle.
Fill the glass with crushed ice.
Add the white rum and fresh lime juice, then top up with chilled soda water.
Stir gently from the bottom upwards to combine the ingredients while preserving the fresh mint aromas.
As the cocktail is stirred, the Parfait d'Amour may briefly remain beneath the crushed ice before slowly blending into the drink, creating a subtle lavender gradient. It is a small detail, but a beautiful nod to the layered colours of an English summer garden.
Garnish with a generous sprig of fresh mint and half a fresh strawberry.
Serve immediately with a straw.
For a quicker home version, replace the soda water with 125 ml Fever-Tree Mojito Mixer. Because the mixer already contains sweetness and lime, add approximately 15 ml fresh lemon juice to keep the cocktail bright and refreshing.
