1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint's essential oils and creates a fragrant base for your mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Muddle the lime wedges with the mint and sugar mixture to release the lime juice. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the drink bitter.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture, ensuring that the flavors combine well. Stir gently to incorporate the rum with the mint and lime.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add fizziness and balance the sweetness of the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Stir gently before serving and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
