1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them into small pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture. Stir again to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes until it is nearly full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to incorporate the club soda without losing too much fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
