1
Muddle 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 press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the mint and sugar mixture. If desired, you can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it gently with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

6
Garnish the Cocktail
Add a sprig of mint and a slice of lime to the top of the drink for garnish. This adds a nice visual touch and enhances the aroma of the cocktail.
