1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and combine with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves into tiny pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass containing the mint and sugar mixture. The other half can be cut into wedges for garnish. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the drink effectively.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice and mixture until the glass is full, giving the drink a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
