1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils while mixing them with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just muddle enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half of the lime into the mixture for added flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add 2 ounces of white rum to the mixture. Stir gently to combine the mint, lime juice, sugar, and rum.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing the ice to mix with the ingredients.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour 4 ounces of club soda over the ice and mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
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.
