Method
Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Take a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill it.
Muddle the Mint
In a separate mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves and use a muddler to gently press them down. This releases the mint oils without tearing the leaves.
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine.
Add Rum
Measure and add the white rum into the mixing glass with the mint and lime mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Garnish
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
