Preparation
Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients including white rum, club soda, simple syrup, fresh mint leaves, and a lime.
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and 1 lime cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
Mixing
Add Rum and Syrup
Pour 2 oz of white rum and 1 oz of simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Add Club Soda
Top off the mixture with 4 oz of club soda. Stir lightly to combine, ensuring not to lose the carbonation.
Garnishing
Garnish the Drink
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. Serve immediately.
