Method
Prepare
- 1
Prepare glass
Choose a Collins or highball glass. Add the lime wedges into the glass.
- 2
Add mint and simple syrup
Tuck the mint leaves on top of the lime wedges and pour the simple syrup over them.
Muddle & Build
- 3
Muddle gently
Using a bartending muddler, press down gently on the mint leaves and lime wedges 6–8 times to release oils and juice. Avoid over-muddling the mint to prevent bitterness—just a few firm presses until fragrant.
- 4
Add rum and lime
Pour the white rum and fresh lime juice into the glass over the muddled mixture.
- 5
Add ice
Fill the glass almost to the top with crushed ice, leaving a half-inch of headspace for the sparkling water.
Top & Finish
- 6
Add sparkling water
Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water (club soda) over the ice to preserve fizz, roughly 3 oz. Use a bar spoon to gently stir once or twice to integrate the ingredients without flattening the bubbles.
- 7
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel or wedge. Optionally slap the mint sprig once between your palms to wake up the aroma before placing it in the drink. Serve immediately with a straw.
