1
Prepare Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together. This will release the essential oils from the mint.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the fresh lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add a few wedges to enhance the flavor. Continue to muddle gently to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir the mixture gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. This will help to keep the drink refreshing and bubbly.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
