Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Cocktail Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves. This releases the mint oils and combines them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. Make sure to catch any seeds that might fall in. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add more lime juice to taste.

Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes. This will help chill the drink and dilute it slightly as you enjoy it.
