If I could make a few suggestions...
Muddle the mint with a muddler so you really bruise the leaves. Squeeze the lime juice with a Mexican lime squeezer; half of a Persian lime is enough. Skip the syrup and use about a teaspoon of caster sugar, maybe a little more. 2 ounces of syrup is going to make it way too sweet. Cut the rum to about 1-1/2 to 2 ounces... try Shellback and see if you like it. Add a lot more ice.
For a better presentation, you can strain the mint leaves out when you pour the drink and add a sprig of mint for looks.
