1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Then, add the white rum. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed to ensure the glass is full.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
