Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add fresh mint leaves and sugar. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass, adding the squeezed lime half as well. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and lime together, releasing the mint oils and mixing with the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum and stir well to combine the muddled mixture with the rum.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
