Ingredients

  • 6 mint leaves
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 2 ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • Club soda
  • Ice (crushed or cubed)

Instructions

  1. Gently muddle the mint and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker or tall pint glass. Lightly press and turn the muddler into the mixture, about 3 to 4 times. Do not bruise the leaves or vigorously muddle, or the mint will taste bitter.
  2. Add the rum, lime juice, and about 1/2 cup of ice. Cover and briefly shake. Alternatively, stir them together to mix.
  3. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
  4. Top with club soda.
  5. Garnish with mint leaves and a lime wheel or wedge, if desired.
