Method
Preparation

Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.

Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled ingredients. Stir gently to combine.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
