1
Muddle the mint and sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add lime juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add rum
Pour in the white rum and mix well with the mint-lime-sugar combination.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with club soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without disturbing the mint too much.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
