3. Fill a shaker with ice and add ingredients for one cocktail. Shake well and pour into a glass and serve (Note: You can adjust the amount of simple syrup, rum, and lime juice to taste).

1. Make this cocktail without refined sugar by using a liquid natural sweetener such as pure maple syrup or coconut palm nectar.
