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 bottom of the glass to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If desired, you can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as necessary to make sure the cocktail is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
