1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just bruise them enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir to incorporate all the ingredients.

4
Combine Ingredients
Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the club soda over the ice and gently stir to mix everything together while being careful not to disturb the mint too much.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and mint sprigs for a fresh presentation.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or swizzle stick, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
