1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves together with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and helps dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Pour in Rum
Add the white rum to the glass with the mint and lime mixture. Stir to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it reaches the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level. This will add fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
