1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together. This will help release the essential oils from the mint and dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Muddle again gently to incorporate the lime juice with the mint and sugar mixture.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice and stir gently to mix everything together without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
