1
Prepare the Glass
Take a sturdy glass, preferably a tall one, and add the fresh mint leaves to the bottom.
2
Muddle the Mint
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred them too much.
3
Add Lime and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
4
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to combine all the flavors.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
