1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just enough to release the mint flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Use the other half for garnish if desired.
3
Pour in Rum
Add 1.5 oz of white rum into the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour 4 oz of club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime. Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy your refreshing cocktail.
