Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
- 2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime. Then add the white rum, and stir gently to combine the flavors.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink chilled.
- 4
Mix with Club Soda
Top off the mixture with club soda, pouring it gently to avoid splashing. Stir the drink gently to combine all the ingredients without bruising the mint leaves.
- 5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink by placing lime wedges on the rim of the glass and adding a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
