1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together, releasing the mint oils and aromas.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
3
Incorporate Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to ensure the sugar is dissolved.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.

6
Garnish the Drink
Add a lime wedge and a sprig of mint to the top of the cocktail for garnish. This not only enhances the appearance but also adds a fresh aroma.
