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 muddle the mint with the sugar, releasing the mint oils and creating a fragrant base.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, then drop the wedges in as well. Muddle gently again to mix the flavors without tearing the mint leaves.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the drink its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
