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 the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of both halves into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. Continue to muddle the mixture lightly to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and maintain the refreshing quality.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. This will give the mojito its characteristic fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
