1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 30 seconds, being careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Squeeze the Lime
Cut the lime into halves. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is cold and refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink, mixing in the mint and lime.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
