- Lime slices for garnish
- 5 fresh mint leaves plus additional for garnish
- 2 ounces white rum

Instructions
- Gently press the mint leaves at the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release their oils without tearing them. Introduce the white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and a generous scoop of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well chilled.
