How to make it 👨🍳
1
Put the Fresh mint leaves and White sugar into a tall glass.
2
Press them gently with a muddler (a thick pestle) or the handle of a wooden spoon — bruise the mint just enough to release its oils, not shred it.
3
Add the Fresh lime juice and stir briefly.
4
Fill the glass with Ice.
5
Pour in the White rum.
6
Top with Soda water and give it one slow stir.
7
Garnish with the lime wedge and mint sprig. Slap the mint sprig between your palms first — it wakes up the aroma.
