Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Lime
Cut the lime into wedges and set aside.
- 2
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and helps dissolve the sugar.

Add Lime
Add the lime wedges to the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Muddle again gently to release the lime juice without pulverizing the mint.

Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine.
