1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add 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 essential oils from the mint and helps dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the fresh lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly for a chilled cocktail.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the reserved lime half into wedges and place one on the rim of the glass. Optionally, add a few extra mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw.
