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 press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just bruise them to enhance the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, ensuring to remove any seeds. Keep the other half to use as a garnish later. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass and stir the mixture again to combine all the ingredients well.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring it is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, allowing the bubbles to gently mix with the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a slice of the remaining lime half and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
