1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime and Sugar
Cut the lime in half, and squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass with the mint. Add the granulated sugar to the glass. Muddle the mixture again to combine the flavors, ensuring the sugar dissolves.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, stirring gently to mix it with the muddled mint, lime, and sugar.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the desired level. Use a spoon to stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with the lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
