Ice cubes
6 fresh mint leaves

1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ounce agave syrup or simple syrup

Instructions

Crush The Ice: Wrap a few handfuls of ice cubes in a clean towel or ice crusher bag and, using a mallet, rolling pin, or muddler, tap until all the ice is broken up and crushed (you want a mix of ice sizes from pea sized to snowlike).
Make The Cocktail: Fill a highball glass or Julep cup with the pineapple and mint leaves and muddle until the mint and pineapple are broken up and they've let off liquid. Fill the cup with the crushed ice, stir together the tequila, lime juice, and agave and pour over the ice. Add more ice, then garnish with pineapple and mint and serve.
