Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice to release the mint's essential oils without tearing the leaves too much.

Add Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and the simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- 3
Fill Glass with Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
- 4
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice to fill the glass. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to mix the ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top for presentation. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
