1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, 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. Do this until the mint is fragrant and the sugar starts to dissolve.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to ensure that the rum, mint, sugar, and lime juice are evenly combined.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
