1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh 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. Avoid shredding the mint.
2
Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. This will add sweetness to the drink.
3
Add Rum
Pour 2 oz of white rum into the glass, mixing it gently with the mint, lime, and syrup.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to about three-quarters full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, allowing the ingredients to combine.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing presentation.
