1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. This should take about 30 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also use a lime squeezer for better extraction.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full. This helps to chill the cocktail.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is filled. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preference.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a mint sprig on top. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick for mixing.
