  • Pack the glass to the top with crushed ice.
  • Pour 2 oz (60 ml) of aged rum over the ice.
  • Stir gently from bottom to top 3–4 times.

Notes

  1. Nutritional values are approximate and were automatically calculated by WordPress Recipe Maker. They may vary depending on the specific ingredients and brands you use.
  2. The homemade mint syrup keeps up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  3. Always serve with a short straw so you catch the mint aroma with every sip.
  4. This cocktail gets better as the ice melts slightly — the flavors come together and the rum softens beautifully. Drink it slowly.
