Am I right to assume that "in base of shaker" in step 3. should be "in glass"? I was thinking I could muddle in a shaker and then put in the glass, but I think I would lose too much of the mint.

Many thanks for bringing to my attention, Patrick. As you say, it should be "glass," not "shaker." Now corrected.

Simple, delicious and refreshing. What's not to like? We split the Rum 50:50 between Plantation Dark and Hoochery Light White.
