1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and a lime wedge. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their flavors. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of mint and an additional lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
