1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Squeeze the lime juice from the whole lime into the glass, making sure to catch any seeds. Add the granulated sugar to the mixture.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime mixture to release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and rum mixture, filling the glass to the top. Give it a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
