  3. Pass through a strainer and discard the seeds.
For the drink:
  1. Muddle the mint, lime juice, tomatillo juice, and sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, cup, or pitcher.
  2. Add the ice and rum. If using a cocktail shaker, place the lid on it and shake. Pour everything into a highball glass – you want to keep the mint and ice in the drink! If using a cup or pitcher, just stir together.
