1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Avoid tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ice to cool the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until it reaches the rim. This will give your mojito its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with an additional sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
