1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them apart too much.
2
Add Lime and Sugar
Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass along with the granulated sugar. Muddle the lime and sugar together with the mint leaves to release the lime juice and dissolve the sugar.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. 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.
