Preparation Instructions

Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Fill with Ice
Add ice to the glass, filling it nearly to the top.

Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
