1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for additional flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it’s nearly full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
