1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint's oils and dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, being careful to catch any seeds. Add the lime halves to the glass as well for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
