1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together, releasing the mint’s essential oils. Muddle just enough to combine, but do not shred the leaves.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Save the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix gently with the other ingredients. You can adjust the amount of club soda to your preference for fizziness.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the remaining half of lime into wedges and add to the drink as a garnish. Optionally, add a sprig of fresh mint for a decorative touch. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
