1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and sugar to release the mint oils. Avoid tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Mix with Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely.
4
Prepare the Glass
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
5
Combine with Soda
Slowly pour club soda into the glass over the ice, filling it to the top. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
