1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Do this for about 15-20 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. Make sure to catch any seeds that may fall in. Stir gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to mix with the mint and lime mixture.
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 all the ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
