1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime, cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and lime together until the mint releases its oils and the lime juice is extracted.
2
Add Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the muddled mint and lime. Gently muddle again to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve in the lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir gently to mix with the muddled ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, adding a refreshing fizz to the cocktail. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with an additional mint sprig and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
