A refreshing tropical drink with a delightful combination of pineapple and mint.
Gently muddle the mint leaves, pineapple chunks, and brown sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
Muddling releases the essential oils from the mint and juices from the pineapple for a more flavorful drink.
Add the white rum and pineapple juice to the shaker, then fill it with ice.
Use fresh pineapple juice for a more vibrant and natural flavor.
Shake the mixture well to combine and chill.
Shake vigorously to ensure the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with crushed ice.
Crushed ice helps to keep the drink cold and adds a nice texture.
Garnish with a pineapple chunk and a sprig of mint.
For an extra touch, you can skewer the pineapple chunk with a cocktail pick.
