Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Mint

    Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make the drink bitter.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Fill a serving glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

  6. 6

    Pour the Mixture

    Strain the mint and rum mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.

  7. 7

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the drink to fill the glass. Stir gently to mix.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
