Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass and mint
Place 8–10 fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a tall Collins or highball glass. Add the simple syrup (0.5 oz) and fresh lime juice (0.75 oz) over the mint.
- 2
Muddle
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint with the syrup and lime juice just enough to bruise the leaves and release essential oils. Avoid tearing the leaves to prevent bitterness.
- 3
Add spirits and juice
Fill the glass about two-thirds with crushed ice or regular ice. Pour in Don Q Passionfruit Rum (2 oz) and pomegranate juice (2 oz).
- 4
Mix
Stir gently 6–8 times with a bar spoon to combine the muddled mint, rum and juices and to chill the drink.

Top and garnish
Top the cocktail with club soda (about 2 oz) to taste, then lightly slap a reserved mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and use it as garnish. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and sprinkle pomegranate arils (about 1 tbsp) on top.

Serve
Insert a straw (optional), give one gentle stir so the soda lifts some mint and arils, and serve immediately while cold.
