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 to release their oils and combine with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice and stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add Rum and Ice
Add the white rum to the glass, then fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
