1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just a gentle press is enough.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, and then drop the wedges into the glass as well. This will enhance the flavor of your mojito.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice with the rum.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to the top.
5
Finish with Club Soda
Top the glass with club soda, pouring it gently to avoid overflowing. Use a spoon to stir the drink lightly, ensuring that all ingredients are well mixed.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
