Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the granulated sugar and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to help dissolve the sugar in the juice.

Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preference, allowing the ice to chill the mixture.

Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish with an additional sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
