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, releasing their oils and mixing them with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir again to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled and refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is almost full, leaving some space at the top.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a couple of lime wedges. Serve immediately with a straw for best enjoyment.
