Make it


 

1. Make the simple syrup and let cool.

2. Use a small brush to paint on the simple syrup before dipping in the sugar. Note: you can create the same design I did or you can simply dip the rim for a classic look.

3. Pour in the grapefruit, simple syrup, and rum. 

4. Muddle the mint until it forms into a paste. Use a spoon to add it into the drink and stir.
