Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and the lime, cut into wedges. Add the granulated sugar on top.

  2. 2

    Muddle Together

    Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves and lime wedges together, releasing the mint oils and lime juice. Do this for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring not to shred the mint too much.

  3. 3

    Add Rum and Ice

    Pour in the white rum and then add the ice cubes to the glass or shaker.

  4. 4

    Mix the Cocktail

    Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors. If using a shaker, place the lid on and shake gently to mix.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Add the club soda to the mixture, pouring it slowly to maintain the fizz. Stir gently to combine.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Garnish the Drink

    To finish, add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a straw for the ultimate refreshing experience.
