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 and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
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 combine the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint on top for presentation. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
