Rhum-Tini, also known as Island Ti-Punch, is a traditional cocktail from the Caribbean. This drink is popular in Martinique and Guadeloupe and is typically consumed as an aperitif before a meal. Rhum-Tini is a twist on the classic Ti-Punch cocktail which is made with lime, sugar, and Rhum Agricole, a type of rum that is distilled from sugarcane. The Rhum-Tini swaps out the sugar for simple syrup and adds ice to make it a more refreshing drink for hot summer days.

Instructions

1.	Add the rum, fresh lime wedges, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
2.	Muddle the ingredients until the lime juice is extracted and the flavors combine.
3.	Fill a glass with ice and pour the mixture over the top.
4.	Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of mint.
