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 press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely in the lime juice.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring that the mint, sugar, and lime juice are evenly mixed with the rum.
4
Add Ice and Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without disturbing the mint too much.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
