1
Muddle the 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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves; just bruise them enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. If desired, you can also drop the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour in the white rum to the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime with the rum.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
