Method
Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves along with the fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Garnishing
Garnish the Cocktail
Add a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime to the rim of the glass for garnish. This adds a fresh aroma to the drink.
