Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils. Cut the lime into wedges, add to the glass, and muddle again to extract the lime juice.

  2. 2

    Add the Rum

    Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Stir lightly to mix all ingredients without losing the carbonation.

  5. 5

    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.
