1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
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. Use a muddler or spoon to stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to mix all ingredients.
4
Add Soda Water
Top the mixture with soda water. Pour it gently to maintain some carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Add a few more mint leaves for garnish and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
