1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves against the sugar to release the mint oils. Do this for about 20-30 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can use the other half as well.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice and Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top off with club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
5
Garnish
Garnish your mojito by adding the lime wedges and mint sprigs on top. You can also add a straw if desired.
6
Serve
Enjoy your refreshing mojito immediately while it’s cold and bubbly!
