1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. Add the lime quarters into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture, stirring gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
