1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils and combining them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar completely.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
