It’s finally starting to feel like Spring here in Los Angeles and that can only mean one thing — refreshing cocktail recipes! Chef Hugh Acheson has crafted the perfect beverage to enjoy outside in the sun using Captain Morgan White Rum, the latest in the Captain’s arsenal of delicious rums. The drink is titled Mint Mutiny for its use of both muddled and torn up mint leaves. You can find all the ingredients you need to create your very own Mint Mutiny cocktail below:
