1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle them together. This releases the essential oils from the mint and helps dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
