Ingredients

Scale
  • 15–20 fresh mint leaves, washed and gently bruised
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) white rum (e.g., Bacardi)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Soda water, to top off the jar just before serving
  • Ice cubes, plenty
  • Mason jars with lids (preferably pint size, about 16 ounces or 475 ml)
  • Optional: lime wedges for garnish
  • Optional: mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse 15-20 fresh mint leaves and pat dry. Place them at the bottom of your mason jar.
  2. Gently bruise the mint leaves using a wooden muddler or the back of a spoon to release oils without shredding.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice to the jar.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of simple syrup to the jar. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Pour in 2 ounces (60 ml) of white rum.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to blend flavors and chill slightly.
  7. Refrigerate the jar for at least 2 hours or overnight to let flavors marry.
  8. Before serving, fill the jar almost to the top with ice cubes.
  9. Top off with soda water, leaving a little room at the top.
  10. Stir gently with a straw or spoon, garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint, and enjoy.

Notes

Do not add soda water until right before serving to preserve fizz. Avoid over-muddling mint to prevent bitterness. Fresh lime juice is essential for best flavor. Simple syrup should be well dissolved and cooled before use. Label jars if prepping multiple kits. Can substitute rum with silver tequila or non-alcoholic spirits for variations.
