1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, 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 to release their essential oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. The other half can be cut into wedges for garnish. Muddle again for a few seconds to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently again to mix all the ingredients together.

5
Garnish the Drink
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. This adds a touch of color and enhances the aroma.
