Serve

In each of 4 glasses add ice, a sprig of mint and a shot of rum.

Using a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon), muddle the mint just enough that it will infuse a hint of flavor into the alcohol.

Pour the strawberry lemonade into the individual glasses and garnish with a fresh whole strawberry or sprig of fresh mint!
