Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils, but avoid tearing them too much.
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and the white rum. Mix gently to combine the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, almost to the top.
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
