Method

Preparation

1

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them slightly.

2

Add Lime Juice

Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3

Add Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass with the mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to mix all the flavors together.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, preferably to the top.

5

Top with Soda Water

Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently once more to combine.
