1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together, releasing the mint's essential oils and mixing it with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of half the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the other half's juice if you prefer a stronger lime flavor. Muddle the mixture again slightly to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass to the top. Give the drink a gentle stir to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
