Method

1. 1

   This one is super easy and fun to make. It's built straight in the glass you'll be drinking from

2. 2

   Into your glass, add mint leaves and give them a little press with your bar spoon - this releases some oils

3. 3

   Next, in the glass, add your rum, lime juice and syrup

4. 4

   Put your bar spoon in the glass and fill 3/4 full with crushed ice

5. 5

   Now for the swizzle. Take the handle of the bar spoon between your hands and spin the spoon in the glass, like you're trying to make a fire with a wooden stick! The drink will slosh around and make the glass frosty

6. 6

   Do this for about 10-15 seconds

7. 7

   Remove your spoon and top up your glass with more crushed ice. Dash the bitters over the ice creating those beautiful layers and colours

8. 8

   Garnish with mint and throw in a straw
