1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint and sugar together. The goal is to release the mint's essential oils without tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half directly into the glass. You can also add the half lime into the glass for more flavor. Muddle the mixture lightly again to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Finish with Club Soda
Top off the drink with club soda, pouring gently to avoid splashing. Stir lightly to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
