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 against the sugar to release the oils. 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 over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also add the lime halves to the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

6
Garnish the Cocktail
Add a sprig of fresh mint on top and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. This will enhance the visual appeal and aroma of the cocktail.
