1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Do not over-muddle, as you want to avoid tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, ensuring to extract as much juice as possible. You can drop the wedges into the glass after squeezing for added flavor.
3
Add White Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Mix the Ingredients
Using a spoon, stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors. This also helps to dissolve the sugar completely.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
