1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make the mint taste bitter.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add White Rum
Pour the white rum into the mixture and stir again to combine everything evenly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring it's packed well to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice and mint mixture until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint. Optionally, you can add a straw for easier sipping.
