Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid tearing the leaves, as this can make the drink bitter.

Add Lime and Syrup
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the simple syrup to the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the mixture and stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to the top.
- 5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Garnish and Serve
Add lime wedges to the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw.
