1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar, creating a fragrant paste.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients evenly.
4
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top off the drink with soda water, pouring it gently to avoid excessive fizzing.
5
Garnish and Serve
Slice the reserved lime half into wedges and place it on the rim of the glass. Optionally, add a few more mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw.
