1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to blend the ingredients well.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a few additional mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw.
