I just discovered this drink for myself last night at a chain restaurant and I liked it, but my boyfriend ordered 4 more for himself. I told him I would find out how to make them and this is what I discovered.
You need about 12 mint leaves per drink, throw them in the bottom of the glass. Next you will need a half of a lime cut into wedges, put them on top of the mint leaves and muddle them together gently. Next you need to fill the glass to the top with ice. Then you will need 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or regular sugar ( the simple syrup mixes better). Pour in 1 and a half ounces of Bacardi Superior Rum, top with club soda, and drink up. You can use any flavor of the Bacardi Rums, such as lemon or raspberry, the choice is yours. Enjoy.
