1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
3
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor.
4
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir gently to combine with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to about three-quarters full.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
