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 oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3
Mix in Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir to blend all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the club soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing classic mojito!
