1
Muddle the 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 press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice and the mixture until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the club soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
