1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
3
Add Lime Juice
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 extra flavor.
4
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a fresh sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
