1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the whole lime into the glass, then drop the lime halves in as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine all flavors.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as desired.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to give the cocktail a gentle stir to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
5
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 or stirrer.
