1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint with the sugar, releasing the mint oils and creating a fragrant mixture.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Fill with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the top. Stir gently once more to combine everything without losing the fizziness.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer for easy sipping.
