In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Muddle Mint and Sugar

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

Add Lime Juice

Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine all ingredients together.

Add Rum

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.

Add Ice

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

Top with Club Soda

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