1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the leaves to release their aromatic oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Combine Ingredients
Pour the white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup over the muddled mint in the glass.
3
Mix the Cocktail
Using a spoon, stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients 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, giving a light stir to mix the soda with the rest of the cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
