1
Muddle the mint and lime
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and half of the lime that has been cut into wedges. Add the granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
2
Add rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
4
Top with club soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to mix the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
5
Garnish and serve
Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer for mixing.
