Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to tear the leaves into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Add Simple Syrup

    Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rum and Ice

    Pour the white rum into the glass. Then fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  4. 4

    Top with Soda Water

    Slowly pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is full. This will help maintain the fizz of the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw to stir and enjoy.
