1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint. You can also add the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime juice. This will add sweetness to the cocktail.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum, mixing it well with the muddled mint, lime, and simple syrup.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the brim. This will give the cocktail its refreshing fizz.
7
Garnish and Serve
Gently stir the cocktail to mix the ingredients. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
