Method
Preparation
- 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 to release their oils and combine them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the glass, then drop the wedges into the glass as well. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the flavors.

Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint-lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink chilled.

Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir the drink gently to mix everything together.

Garnish and Serve
