Combine all ingredients in a shaker, and vigorously shake to bruise the mint. Double strain (to remove all green pieces) into a cocktail glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with shaved chocolate and a mint sprig.
Chocolate Sauce
Create a simple syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water, and 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder, then fine strain the mixture to remove any lumps. Store-bought chocolate syrup also works in this recipe.
