Ingredients 

2 Ounces Demerara Rum

1 Ounce Lime Juice

1 Ounce Simple Syrup (1:1, 50 brix)

3-4 Dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish: Mint Sprig

Method

Muddle the Mint: In a Collins glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint to release its oils, (careful not to overly bruise or tear mint).

Mix the Cocktail: Add the rum, fresh lime juice, and crushed ice to the Collins glass with the muddled mint and syrup.

Swizzle!!!: Pour the mixture into the prepared glass with crushed ice. Use a swizzle stick to vigorously stir the drink in a swizzling motion until the glass becomes frosty, then top with more crushed ice if needed.

Garnish: Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the drink for added complexity and presentation, trust me it makes a big difference. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Serve and enjoy.
