Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to tear them into small pieces.

Add Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Muddle again gently to mix the sugar with the mint and lime juice, ensuring the sugar starts to dissolve.

Squeeze the Lime
Cut the remaining half of the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from two wedges into the mixture, and add the wedges into the glass for extra flavor.

Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass.
