Equipment

  • 1 Muddler
  • 1 Juicer
  • 1 Jigger
  • 1 Cocktail Shaker
  • 1 Bar Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 leaves Mint
  • 1 tsp Simple Syrup
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 2 oz White Rum
  • 5-6 oz Club Soda To taste
  • 1 sprig Mint For garnish
  • 1 wedge Lime For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Wash your mint leaves and place them in the cocktail shaker
  • Add simple syrup, and lime juice, and gently muddle to release the oils and flavors from the leaves. (If you over-muddle your cocktail can become bitter).
  • Add white rum, a handful of ice, and a splash of soda water, and stir the mixture with a bar spoon.
  • Now cover and shake the cocktail vigorously for about 10 seconds. This not only blends the ingredients but chills the cocktail too.
  • Pour the mixture into a glass with more ice and top with the rest of the soda water.
  • Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
