Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Add the sugar on top. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to shred the mint too much.
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for the soda water.
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional mint leaves and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
