Amounts are for the selected number of servings. Prepare each serving separately; add sparkling ingredients just before serving.

Ice

Use crushed ice. Fill the glass about three-quarters full, mix, then add more ice.
The amount depends on the glass; ice chills and dilutes the drink as it melts.

How to make it

Click a step number to mark it as done.

Measure rum, lime juice, syrup and soda into a highball glass.
Add mint and press gently with a spoon to release its aroma without shredding the leaves.
Add crushed ice to about three-quarters of the glass and mix from the bottom.
Top with more crushed ice and a mint sprig. Serve immediately. Optionally add a lime wheel or wedge as garnish.

Small details, better drinks

Make 1:1 syrup with equal weights of sugar and water; let it cool first.
Dry sugar is not an equal-volume replacement for syrup. It changes both sweetness and texture.
For several servings, build individual glasses and leave ice and soda until serving.
