1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much, just enough to combine with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the fresh lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnishing. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will help to maintain the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
