✨ Let’s Make It
1. Muddle the mint:
In a glass, add mint, sugar (or syrup), and lime juice. Gently muddle to release the mint oils—no need to go full Hulk here, just a little press and swirl.
2. Add the rum:
Pour in the white rum and give it a quick stir to combine.
3. Ice + fizz:
Fill the glass with ice and top with sparkling water. Stir again gently—don’t kill the bubbles!
4. Garnish cute:
Add a fresh mint sprig and lime wheel. Optional but highly encouraged: a striped straw and a shady seat outdoors.

Pour over ice and let guests top with their own sparkling water for max fizz
