1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
3
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Add the other half directly into the glass after squeezing.
4
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass with the muddled mixture.
5
Mix the Ingredients
Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors.
6
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level.
7
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Give it a gentle stir to mix.
8
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.
