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 press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass, releasing their essential oils and flavors. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely, ensuring the mint flavor infuses the lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir again to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed to chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, allowing it to mix gently without disrupting the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with an additional sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
