Preparation Instructions
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils, being careful not to tear them too much.
Add Sugar and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and white rum. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice, preferably crushed or cubed, leaving some space at the top for the soda.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
