Instructions

Step 1: In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, muddle 6 fresh mint leaves with 2 tsp granulated sugar and 1 oz fresh lime juice until the mint releases its aroma and the sugar dissolves, about 15 seconds.
Step 2: Add 2 oz white rum and fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside feels frosty. Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Top with 3 oz soda water and stir gently until the carbonation settles. Garnish with a lime wedge.
