Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Yuzu Juice

    Pour in the yuzu juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to blend the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full, giving the drink a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to mix.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Garnish the Drink

    Add the yuzu slices on top of the drink for a vibrant look. Finally, place a sprig of fresh mint in the glass as a garnish.
