1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils while mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just enough to combine the flavors.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for extra flavor. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it well with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. This will help to dissolve the sugar completely.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed to get a nice chill.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Add a sprig of mint on top for garnish. Optionally, you can also add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
