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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add lime juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Pour in the rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with soda water
Pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and serve
Cut the reserved lime half into wedges or slices and garnish the drink. Optionally, add a few extra mint leaves on top for decoration. Serve immediately with a straw.
