1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint's essential oils. Muddle until the sugar starts to dissolve.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also add the spent lime halves to the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for soda water.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water 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. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
