Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.

Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler again to mix the sugar with the mint and lime to help dissolve it. Muddle for an additional 10 seconds.

Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink chilled.
