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 with the sugar to release the mint oils and create a fragrant base.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour in 2 ounces of white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour 4 ounces of club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Give it a gentle stir to mix the soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the reserved lime half into wedges and place them on the rim of the glass. Add a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
