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 crush the mint leaves into the sugar. This releases the mint oils and combines it with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing the ice to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
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 for sipping.
