1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves into small pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint in the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to blend the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, then pour the club soda over the ice and the mixture.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick for a refreshing cocktail experience.
