1
Muddle the mint and sugar
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 to release their essential oils and combine them with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add lime juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, making sure to catch any seeds. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine with the mint, lime, and sugar mixture.
4
Add ice and club soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
5
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.
