For an elevated experience, infuse your sugar syrup with a hint of fresh ginger. Heat equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, adding a few slices of ginger during heating, then straining before use. This will add a warm, earthy note that complements the coconut rum beautifully.
Use a double-straining technique when pouring the cocktail to remove any small pieces of mint that may interrupt the smooth drinking experience. This will ensure a clear and crisp presentation.
