Preparation

Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass or shaker with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, allowing the drink to chill effectively.

Top with Club Soda
