Preparation

1

Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2

Add Lime Juice

Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.

3

Add Rum

Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

4

Add Soda Water

Top off the drink with soda water. Pour it slowly to maintain the fizz.

5

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wedge and additional mint leaves. Optionally, you can gently slap the mint leaves between your hands before adding them to release even more aroma.
