Cocktail Base
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add the wedges to the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and lime together, releasing their juices and aromas. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much; you want to release the oils without turning them into bits.

Add the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture of mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the mixture.
