Preparation Steps

Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the mint leaves and the simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves into small pieces.

Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, ensuring it is well packed.
