1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils, creating a fragrant base for the cocktail.
2
Add the Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add fizz and balance the sweetness of the syrup.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.
