Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lime

    Cut the lime into wedges and set aside.

  2. 2

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and helps dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Add Lime

    Add the lime wedges to the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Muddle again gently to release the lime juice without pulverizing the mint.

  4. 4

    Mix in the Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  6. 6

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Adjust the amount of soda to your taste.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
