Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 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 press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum into the mixture. Stir well to ensure that the rum is fully integrated with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top for the club soda.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the cocktail while being careful not to bruise the mint too much.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Add lime wedges and a sprig of mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
