1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
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 leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into halves. Squeeze the juice of one half into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Reserve the other half for garnish. If desired, you can also add some lime wedges to the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly but leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and other ingredients, filling the glass to the brim. This will give your mojito a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
