1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and cut the lime into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler to mix the sugar with the mint and lime to help it dissolve. This will create a sweet and flavorful base for your mojito.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently with a spoon to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda. This will keep your mojito chilled and refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass. Stir gently to mix without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
