Ingredients
- ice
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum ((about 3 tablespoons))
- 2 tablespoons lime juice ((about 1 lime))
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 8 fresh mint leaves

Instructions
-
Fill a 12-ounce highball glass with ice and set aside.

In a cocktail shaker, add the rum, lime juice, sugar and mint leaves.

Using a cocktail muddler or the back of a spoon, lightly press on the mint leaves to release some of the oils until fragrant. Be careful not to overmuddle and completely tear the leaves to little pieces - just keep pressing on them with the muddler until the drink is super fragrant.

Garnish with fresh lime slices and a sprig of mint.
