1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the glass to release their oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds until the mint is fragrant.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice into the glass, adding the wedges to the mixture as well. Muddle again gently to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. This will add fizz to your cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Stir the cocktail gently to mix all ingredients together. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
