1
Muddle 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 mash the mint leaves with the sugar. This will release the mint oils and mix them with the sugar for flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. Save the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture well to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to mix with the mint-lime mixture.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cool.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Add the lime wedges to the glass as a garnish. Top with a sprig of mint for an aromatic finish. Serve immediately with a straw.
