Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds, being careful not to tear the leaves completely.

Add Lime and Syrup
Pour the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes until it's about 3/4 full.

Mix with Club Soda
Top off the mixture with club soda, pouring gently to avoid excessive fizzing. Stir lightly to combine.
