1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint leaves. This will enhance the mint flavor and begin to mix the ingredients.
3
Add Simple Syrup
Add the simple syrup to the glass, which will provide sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime juice.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the mixture. Use a spoon to stir gently to combine the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the cocktail and keep it refreshing.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture until the glass is filled. This will add fizz to the cocktail.
7
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an appealing presentation.
8
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick to mix the flavors before sipping.
