1
Muddle Ingredients
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils and create a fragrant base.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh 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 in the glass, and stir gently to blend the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will help to balance the flavors and add a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
