This is a great festive cocktail. The perfect way to warm up a winters night with a taste of the tropics or cool day after a day on the trails.

In a tall glass muddle mint leaves and simple syrup, make sure to thoroughly crush the leaves. You can either use a muddler or you can use a long handled spoon.
