10 fresh mint leaves
½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons simple syrup or to taste
1 cup ice cubes
40-60 cl. white rum
½ cup club soda
Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a
muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and
lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle
again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the
glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and
fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar
if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
