1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half, and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, being careful to catch any seeds. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass with the muddled mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes and top it off with soda water. Stir gently again to mix the soda with the other ingredients.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
