1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ideally crushed or large cubes depending on your preference.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to stir gently, combining all the ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
