Instructions
Cut your lime in half, squeezing the juice from one half into a highball glass, and setting aside the other half for garnish.
Add about 5 mint leaves into the glass and muddle for about 30 seconds to release the flavor of the mint.
Add ice, rum, and ginger beer and stir.
Garnish with a lime wedge and more mint and serve ice cold!
Pro Tips
It's best not to use a shaker for this cocktail. You won't want to lose the crisp carbonation of the gingerbeer.
I like to really taste the rum, so I add two full jiggers worth of it to each drink, but if you want the rum to be less prevalent, start with one. You can always add more!
