1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too finely.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add White Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients well.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz to the cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
