Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass and then drop the lime half in as well. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves and sugar, releasing the mint oils and lime juice.

    Add the Rum

    Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  2. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
