1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them lightly.
2
Add Ingredients
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to nearly full. This will help chill the drink and combine the flavors.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass. This will add some fizz to the cocktail. Adjust the amount of club soda based on your preferred level of sweetness and dilution.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
