1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently once more to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
