Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a sturdy pitcher or cocktail shaker, add sliced strawberries, mint leaves, and sugar. Muddle gently until the strawberries release their juices and the mint is fragrant.
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum. Add ice, seal, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
Fill two glasses with ice and divide the muddled mixture between them, including some fruit and mint.
Top each glass with club soda and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with strawberry slices, lime wedges, and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar or simple syrup. For a mocktail, skip the rum and add extra club soda. To scale up for a crowd, multiply all ingredients and build in a pitcher.
