Mint sprig, lime wheel

Ingredients · 5

  • Fresh Mint
    Mint
  • Plantation 3 Stars White Rum
    Rum
    2oz
  • Lemon Juice
    1oz
  • Simple syrup
    ¾oz
  • Soda Water
    Sparkling water
    2oz

Method

In a highball glass, add mint, lime juice, and simple syrup. Gently muddle — press to release the mint's oils without shredding the leaves. Add rum, fill with ice, and top with soda water. Stir gently with a bar spoon.

Notes

Light muddling is key — aggressive bruising turns the drink bitter. Use a light-bodied white rum; heavy agricole styles can overwhelm the mint.
