1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor, about 5-10 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice into the muddled mint and syrup mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass or shaker and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, giving it a gentle stir to mix the layers.
6
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint to enhance its presentation and aroma.
