1
Muddle the Mint
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 and flavor. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add the Sweetness
Pour in the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum over the mixture and stir again to mix everything together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes almost to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to combine the club soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
