1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils and flavors. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
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
Mix in Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and gently stir to combine all the ingredients. The club soda will add a refreshing fizz to the mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
