1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon. This releases the mint oils without tearing the leaves into small pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir gently again to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring it’s well chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds fizz and balances the sweetness of the cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
