Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh 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 essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup to the muddled mint and lime. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.
- 3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
