1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour the simple syrup and white rum into the glass, combining with the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
3
Fill with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, allowing the ingredients to mix together slightly.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
