This cocktail dances on your tongue just like its breakdancing namesake, creating an energetic yet harmonious blend with a hint of minty freshness.

To maximize the mint flavor, gently slap the mint leaves between your hands before muddling. This releases essential oils without overly bruising the leaves.
Use freshly squeezed orange and lime juice for the brightest and most vibrant flavors. Bottled juices often lack the same fresh citrus punch.
