1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Squeeze the juice of half the lime into the glass and drop the lime half in as well. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and lime. This releases the mint oils and blends the flavors with the sugar.
2
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink to mix the ingredients without losing carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
