Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 1½ oz white rum
  • 6 mint leaves and a sprig for garnish
  • 1 oz fresh juice (from quartered limes and lemons, 2 lime quarters to 1 lemon quarter)
  • 1 tsp simple syrup
  • 1 oz club soda
Instructions
  1. Place the mint leaves, quartered lime and lemon into a glass.
  2. Add a few pieces of crushed ice and muddle well to release the mint oils and citrus juice and oils.
  3. Add the ice, rum, and simple syrup stirring to combine well.
  4. Strain into a chilled glass (if desired) and top with club soda, giving it a light swirl to combine.
  5. Add a sprig of mint as a garnish before serving.
Notes
I use a Sodastream to make my own club soda... and strained the lime and lemon quarters from the glass, but left the mint for enhanced flavor!
