Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice into a sturdy glass. Drop the spent lime wedges into the glass.
Add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup to the glass.
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.
Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.
Pour in the tequila and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Top the glass with club soda, leaving a little room at the top.
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.
Give the drink one final stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig. Serve immediately and enjoy!
