Ingredients

3 ounces Good quality white rum
1-1/2 ounces Light agave syrup OR
2 ounces Simple syrup
2 Limes, quartered and juiced
2 cups Crushed ice
2 sprigs Fresh mint, leaves removed and stems discarded
Soda water or Seltzer
2 Highball glasses or 8 to 10 ounce water glasses

Directions

1

In a large cocktail shaker, place rum, agave nectar and lime juice. Top with the crushed ice, then the mint leaves. It's important to put the mint leaves on top the ice. Cap the shaker and shake vigorously. The ice will bruise and mince the mint while you shake, flavoring the drink.
2

Place one or more lime pieces in each glass. Evenly divide the cocktail (including the ice you shook it with) between the two glasses. Top with soda water or seltzer (careful, it may fizz over the top). Enjoy!
