Method
Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. This will help to further release the mint flavors.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, providing a refreshing chill to the drink.
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for presentation.
