Preparation
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime wedges. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle them together to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
Add Rum and Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the drink to stay cold and refreshing.
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh sprig of mint on top for aroma and presentation.
