1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar, releasing the oils and aromas. This should take about 30 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Add the other half to the glass as well for added flavor. Stir the mixture to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Add White Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture, ensuring all components are mixed well.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the drink to chill and dilute slightly.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to combine, being careful not to disturb the muddled ingredients at the bottom.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint on top. Optionally, you can add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
