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 down on the mint leaves to release their oil and flavor. Be careful not to tear them apart too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer, you can cut the lime into wedges and muddle them together with the mint and sugar for more flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine the mint, lime juice, and sugar with the rum.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients together.
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!
