Method
Cocktail Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves to release their oils without tearing them.
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to incorporate all the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring it is packed well.
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to stir gently and combine all ingredients without losing carbonation.
Garnishing
Garnish the Cocktail
Add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and place a mint sprig on top for an aromatic touch.
