1
Muddle the 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 press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves into small pieces.
2
Add Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir the mixture with a spoon until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir gently to combine with the mint, lime, and sugar mixture.
4
Fill with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the cocktail, mixing the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
