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 essential oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you want to release the flavor without shredding them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture. Stir again to ensure everything is well mixed.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can use crushed ice if you prefer, but regular ice cubes work well too.
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 your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
