Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the drink and keep it refreshing.

Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to disturb the mint leaves too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
