1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds.
2
Add Lime
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. Cut the other half into wedges and add it to the glass.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
