1
Prepare the Glass
Take a highball or Collins glass and add the fresh mint leaves to the bottom.
2
Muddle the Mint
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them apart too much.
3
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves in the glass.
4
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes up to the rim.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
