Method
Preparation Steps
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, while also mixing in the lime juice.
Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture, and lightly stir to combine.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the soda water.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
