Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
- 3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level. This helps keep the drink cold and refreshing.

Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice and mixture until the glass is nearly full. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top for an added touch of freshness.
