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 down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar to form a fragrant paste. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to mix it with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
