1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of one half into the glass with the mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for later.
3
Muddle Ingredients
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves and sugar together with the lime juice. This releases the mint's essential oils and dissolves the sugar.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
