Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear them too much, just enough to release the fragrance.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint. You can also cut the other half into wedges for garnish later.
- 3
Pour in Rum and Syrup
Add the white rum and simple syrup to the glass. The simple syrup will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.
