1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and mixing with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
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. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to mix everything together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. You can adjust the amount of club soda based on your taste preference.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
