1
Prepare the mint and lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the oils and flavors.
2
Add lime
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, then add the wedges into the glass as well. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the flavors.
3
Mix in the rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with club soda
Pour club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to mix.
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.
