1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavors, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Pour in Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice Cubes
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is almost full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and the rum mixture, filling the glass to the top.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
