1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture, ensuring that it combines well with the mint and lime juice.
4
Mix with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until it is full. Stir gently to mix the club soda into the cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
