1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime, which should be cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their flavors. Muddle for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime. Gently muddle again for about 5 seconds to combine the sugar with the mint and lime juices.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in slightly to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to combine all the ingredients again without losing too much carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint on top and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
