Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to ensure it is mixed thoroughly with the mint, lime juice, and syrup.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for decoration.
