1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and combine them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the mint and sugar mixture. You can also leave the lime halves in the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with soda water. Stir gently to mix.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
