Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

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

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Rum

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Soda Water

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with soda water. Stir lightly to mix.

Garnishing

  1. 4

    Garnish the Cocktail

    Add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and garnish with a few more mint leaves on top for decoration.
