Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils and aroma.
- 2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without bruising the mint leaves.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the cocktail and help mix the flavors.
- 4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix with the other ingredients. Be careful not to stir too vigorously as you want to keep the carbonation.
