1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, 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, releasing their essential oils while mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice of one quarter into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Drop the squeezed quarter into the glass for added flavor. Repeat this process with the remaining lime quarters.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Using a spoon, stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely with the lime juice and mint.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass with the muddled ingredients and stir gently to combine.
5
Finish with Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes and then top off with club soda, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.

6
Garnish the Drink
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass as garnish for a refreshing finish.
