1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler to mix the sugar with the mint and lime juice until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Add Club Soda
Top the mixture with club soda, pouring slowly to maintain the fizz. Stir gently to combine.
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.
