Directions

Use a muddler or the handle end of a long wooden spoon to mix the ingredients and crush the fresh mint on the bottom of the container, rubbing it around the glass to release the mint flavors.
Add and mix the rum into other ingredients that have been crushed and mixed. Strain the mixture into the Collins glass, adding club soda to top off mixture. Then add ice.
