1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them slightly.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass and stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine with the mint, sugar, and lime mixture.
4
Add Ice and Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. Then, pour in the club soda until the glass is full. Give it a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing classic mojito!
