1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to mix all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
