Muddle the 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 and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Do not shred the leaves.

Pour the rum of your choice over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Add the simple syrup and stir gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
