1
Muddle 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 mash the mint and sugar together. This releases the mint's essential oils and helps dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to give it a gentle stir, mixing everything without losing the fizz.
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.
