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 sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds to ensure the flavors combine well.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also use a lime squeezer for better extraction. Stir the mixture gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum into the glass and stir the mixture again to blend all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in if necessary to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to stir gently, combining the club soda with the other ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint on top. Optionally, you can add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
