1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sides of the glass to release their oils. Do this until the leaves are bruised but not torn.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also drop the spent half into the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Incorporate the Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir gently once more to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is almost full. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.

6
Garnish the Drink
Add the additional mint sprigs and lime wedges on top for garnish. You can also use a straw for serving if desired.
7
Serve
Serve the mojito immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
