Build and mix
Fill a Collins glass (or highball) with ice until about 2/3 full. Pour in 2 oz Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup.
Stir gently with a bar spoon for about 8–10 seconds to chill and combine the rum, lime, and syrup without over-diluting.
Top with approximately 4 oz chilled ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve carbonation. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over the top.
Give one gentle stir just to incorporate the ginger beer and bitters with the spirit mixture (2–3 turns of the spoon).
Garnish & Serve
Finish by placing a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floating it in the drink. If using, slap the mint sprig between your palms once to release aroma and set it atop the drink.
Serve immediately with a straw if desired. Optionally provide a small cocktail napkin.
