1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add 10 fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar. Do not pulverize the leaves; just press enough to release the aroma.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop in the lime quarters for extra flavor.

3
Pour in the Rum
Add 2 ounces of white rum to the glass with the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Club Soda
Top off the mixture with 4 ounces of club soda. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.

5
Garnish the Drink
Add 2 lime wedges on the rim of the glass and a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. Optionally, you can add ice cubes for a chilled drink.
