Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Place the mint leaves in a sturdy glass (like a highball glass) or a cocktail shaker.
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).
Add the granulated sugar to the glass.
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.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some space for liquid.
Pour in the white rum and the club soda. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without disturbing the carbonation.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge or slice if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
