1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to tear them too much, just bruise them lightly.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture together, ensuring that the mint, lime, and rum are well distributed.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
