Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them.

Add Lime Juice
Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass, being careful to catch any seeds. You can cut the lime in half and use a citrus juicer or simply squeeze it directly into the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
- 3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the cocktail chilled.
