1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar. 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, ensuring to remove any seeds. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mint, lime juice, and sugar mixture. Stir briefly to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
