1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Juice the Lime
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, being careful to avoid seeds. Stir the mixture to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice and Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes and top off with club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
5
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 and enjoy!
