Muddle 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 down on the mint leaves to release their oils and combine with the sugar. Avoid tearing the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If desired, you can also drop in one of the lime halves for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine.

Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
