1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together. The goal is to release the mint's oils without tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, discarding the halves afterward. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add Light Rum
Pour in the light rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space for the club soda.
5
Top with Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
