1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
3
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of both halves into the glass, making sure to get all the juice out. You can also drop one of the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir the mixture 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 until the glass is full. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
