1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, 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's essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves into small pieces.
2
Squeeze the Lime
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. If desired, you can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for additional flavor.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
