2 teaspoons sugar
6-8 fresh mint leaves
Soda water
Ice
Mint sprig and lime wheel (for garnish)
Preparation
Muddle Mint and Sugar: In a tall glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves and sugar together. This helps release the mint's essential oils and dissolves the sugar.
Add Lime Juice and Rum: Pour in the fresh lime juice and Big Storm Silver Rum.
Stir and Add Ice: Stir the mixture to combine the flavors. Fill the glass with ice.
Top with Soda Water: Top off the drink with soda water to your desired level, usually around 2-3 oz. Stir gently.
