1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also add the spent lime halves to the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix with Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, giving the drink a light stir to mix everything together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
