Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Muddle the Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint's essential oils and flavors.

2

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the other half as a wedge for garnish later if desired. Muddle again briefly to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

3

Combine with Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients together.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the cocktail.

5

Top with Club Soda

Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. This will add fizz and balance the cocktail.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
