1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Gold Rum
Pour the gold rum into the glass with the mint, lime juice, and simple syrup mixture. Stir gently to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ingredients to chill.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Use a spoon to gently stir once more to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
