Ingredients

• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 1 whole Lime
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 2 ounces White rum
• 4 ounces Club soda
• 1 cup Crushed ice

Directions

Step 1

Place the mint leaves in a sturdy glass (like a highball glass) or a cocktail shaker.

Step 2

Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, and cut the other half into small wedges for garnish (optional).

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar to the glass.

Step 4

Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the mint, lime, and sugar together. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much, as this can release a bitter flavor.

Step 5

Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some space for liquid.

Step 6

Pour in the white rum and the club soda. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without disturbing the carbonation.

Step 7

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge or slice if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
