1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist 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 from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnishing later.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice with the rum.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the coldness to enhance the flavors.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Adjust the amount depending on your preference for fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and add it to the glass. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
