1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
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 and twist the mint leaves to release their oils and combine them with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, ensuring to remove any seeds. Continue to muddle the mixture for another 15 seconds to blend the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. If using a cocktail shaker, transfer the mixture to a glass filled with ice.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz and balance the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
