1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add 10 fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the leaves to release the essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass with the mint. Add the wedges into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum and Syrup
Pour 50 ml of white rum and 30 ml of simple syrup into the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup. This will chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour 100 ml of club soda over the ice and mixture. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to disturb the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
