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 muddle the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the oils from the mint and helps dissolve the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine and dissolve the sugar completely.

Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and mix well with the mint-lime mixture.
