Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Cocktail Preparation
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, allowing the sugar to dissolve into the lime juice.
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir the mixture gently to incorporate all the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to chill the cocktail.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer for mixing.
