Preparation:

Step 1
• In a cocktail shaker, combine the mint leaves with the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and bitters. Add ice, close the lid, and shake vigorously or stir until the contents are combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (The cocktail is ready when the shaker begins to fog up.)
  
  Pour the liquid into chilled champagne flutes, leaving ice in the shaker and a few leaves in the glass. Fill the glass almost to the brim with champagne. Garnish with mint sprigs. Enjoy.
Step 2
• Syrup: Pour water and sugar into a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Or heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 1.5 cups.
