minus-squareGodort@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up18·17 days ago Pick a good amount of mint leaves and place them in a highball glass (use more than you think you need. Somewhere around 12) Juice a lime and add one of the halves to the glass Use a muddler(or the back of a spoon) to express oils from the lime and mint(you want to bruise the leaves but not pulverize them) Add 2 Oz of a good white rum(this is the star of the drink so make sure it’s good. I recommend Havana club if you live outside the US.) Add 3/4 Oz of the lime juice you squeezed earlier Add between 1 and 2 Oz of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you want it to be. (Personally I go for 1.5) Add ice and stir until the glass is uncomfortable to hold(about 60 seconds) Top with club soda until the glass is completely full Add a straw and garnish with a lime wheel and a mint sprig
