Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much; you want to release flavor, not create a mint mush.
- 2
Add lime juice and rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the muddled mint and syrup blend with the rum and lime.
- 3
Add ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, allowing them to chill the mixture thoroughly.
