1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them apart.
2
Add Lime Juice and Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Give it a light stir to mix everything together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a few additional mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw.
