Ingredients

6 mint leaves, torn
2 ounces rum (traditionally Trinidadian or Guyanese -- we like Banks 5 Island, which is a blend of both of those and 3 others.)
3/4 ounce lime juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
Angostura bitters

Directions

1

Place torn mint in the bottom of a glass and muddle gently.
2

Add the rest of the ingredients, top up with crushed ice, and swizzle vigorously until the glass frosts (about 15 to 20 seconds).
3

Top up with additional fresh crushed ice to mound the glass, and float liberally with bitters. The drink should have a clear barrier between red on top (bitters), white (rum), and green (mint).
