Ingredients

• 2 oz tequila
• 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 1 whole lime
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 4 oz club soda
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 0.25 tsp salt (optional, for rim)
• 1 piece lime wedge (for garnish)
• 1 sprig mint sprig (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice into a sturdy glass. Drop the spent lime wedges into the glass.

Step 2

Add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup to the glass.

Step 3

Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the lime wedges and mint leaves to release their flavors. Be careful not to crush the mint too much, as it can become bitter.

Step 4

Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.

Step 5

Pour in the tequila and stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Step 6

Top the glass with club soda, leaving a little room at the top.

Step 7

If desired, rim the edge of the glass with salt before starting the drink preparation process. To do this, run a lime wedge along the rim and dip it into a small plate of salt.

Step 8

Give the drink one final stir to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 9

Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig. Serve immediately and enjoy!
