1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime and Sugar
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass with the muddled mint. Add the sugar on top of the lime juice. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sugar starts to dissolve.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the mint, lime, and sugar combination. Stir gently to incorporate all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, but 4 oz should provide a nice balance.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and an additional lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
