1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lime into the glass. Discard the lime halves after extracting the juice.
3
Add Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
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.
