The cast member may be a bartender but it would seem the question writer has never been a bartender. The mint leaves aren't "smashed", they are muddled. And you don't muddle them in the rum! Rather you muddle the mint leaves in sugar and perhaps a bit of lime and then add the rum.

And even then you muddle the leaves relatively gently rather than smash the dang things!

I don't think I want any drinks made by the writer of this question...
