1
Prepare the Glass
Take a sturdy glass and place it on a flat surface. This will be used to mix and serve the mojito.
2
Muddle the Mint and Lime
Add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar to the glass. Cut the lime in half, squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, and then drop the squeezed half into the glass as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help keep the mojito cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
