Ingredients

2 limes
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup water
4 oz Bacardi rum (white rum)
club soda (sparkling water)
6 mint sprigs

Instructions

1. Make a simple syrup: Combine ¼ of sugar and ¼ cup water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cool.
2. Break up the leaves from 2 mint sprigs, and add to a cocktail shaker.Muddle mint sprigs ( using a cocktail muddler, or a wooden spoon) to release its natural oils. Add the simple syrup and stir together. Next add the lime juice and rum. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Strain evenly into 2 tall glasses. Add 2 sprigs of mint in each glass. Then add about 3 to 4 ice cubes in each glass. If you like drop in a few small lime weges. Slowly fill the glass with club soda. Garnish with extra lime on the rim of glass to make it look pretty. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: If you don't have a cocktail shaker, or a cocktail muddler, you can just muddle the mint leaves with the back of a wooden spoon, or pestle in a small bowl together with the simple syrup. Then add lime juice, and rum. Strain the mixture in a tall glass.
