1
Muddle Mint Leaves
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the leaves. Muddle them for about 10-15 seconds to release their essential oils, being careful not to shred them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add White Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will help preserve the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
