1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass. This releases the mint oils while mixing with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. You can also add the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Using a spoon, stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely with the mint and lime juice.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.
7
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.
