1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Cut the other half into wedges and set aside for garnish.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full. This will help chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. This will add the refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with the lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
