Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to tear them too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and syrup mixture.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Rum

    Add the white rum into the glass, mixing it gently with the muddled mint, lime juice, and syrup.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with crushed ice to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda

    Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint for added aroma and presentation.
