Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Muddle the Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add 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 while mixing with the sugar. Do not over-muddle; you want to release the flavor without tearing the leaves into pieces.

2

Add Lime Juice

Pour the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring that the sugar begins to dissolve.

3

Mix in the Rum

Add the white rum to the glass and stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.

5

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice and gently stir again to combine everything without losing the carbonation.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick for your guests to enjoy!
