Ingredients:
- 2 oz Sri Lankan Arrack
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves
- Soda water

Instructions:
Step 1: Gather your ingredients: Sri Lankan Arrack, fresh limes, sugar, mint leaves, and soda water.

Step 5: Pour in the Sri Lankan Arrack.
Step 6: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Step 7: Top the glass off with soda water. Leave a little space at the top.
