1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press the mint leaves gently to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into halves and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the squeezed half into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir well to combine the flavors.
4
Add Ice and Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
