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 the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring the ice is packed well to keep the cocktail chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and the cocktail mixture. Fill to the top of the glass, giving it a gentle stir to combine without losing carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
