1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just enough to mix with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve in the lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Next, pour in the white rum. Stir the mixture again to blend the rum with the mint and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing the ice to rise above the liquid mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will give the Mojito its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a mint sprig on top. Serve with a straw for easy sipping and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
