Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Do this carefully to avoid tearing the mint leaves too much.
- 2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime. Gently muddle again to mix the sugar with the mint and lime juices. This will help dissolve the sugar and enhance the flavor.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors together.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the cocktail and keep it refreshing.
