- 4 Fresh Mint Leaves

- Salt
DIRECTIONS
1
Wet the rim of a rocks glass with lime. Rim it with salt.
2
Slap the mint leaves between your palms to release more of their essential oils.

Combine the mint leaves, tequila, plum jam and lime juice in a shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously.
4
Double-strain into the rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with the mint sprig. Serve.
