Method
Preparation
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to shred the leaves.
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and white rum into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for soda water.
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Give it a gentle stir to mix.
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
