Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint's essential oils and helps dissolve the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture. Stir gently to mix it with the lime, mint, and sugar.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Use a spoon to gently stir the cocktail to combine the layers without losing the carbonation.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
