DIRECTIONS

Put the mint and simple syrup in a large rocks glass. Muddle the leaves and syrup by pressing them with a pestle or a wooden spoon until juicy and fragrant. Add the rum, orange juice, lemon juice, run and ice. Cover with a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds.
