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 crush the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Muddle just enough to combine the mint with the sugar, but do not completely tear the leaves apart.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar begins to dissolve in the lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the drink stays cold and refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture. This will add effervescence to the drink, making it light and refreshing.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the reserved half lime into wedges and add them to the glass for garnish. Optionally, add a few more mint leaves on top for a fresh look. Serve immediately with a straw.
