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 press the mint leaves to release their oils while mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also add the spent lime halves for extra flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the drink without disturbing the mint too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
