Pro Tips
- Be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves, as it can result in a bitter taste. Muddle just enough to release the essential oils.
- For extra visual flair, freeze the black grapes beforehand and use them as chilling “eyeballs” in your drink.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to suit your taste.
