1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and helps to dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly, to chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Use a spoon to stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing too much fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and an optional lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
