1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
