1
Muddle 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 down on the mint leaves to release their oils while mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. This creates a flavorful base for the mojito.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to combine all the flavors. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smoother drink.
4
Ice it Up
Fill the glass with crushed ice or ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Gently pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, allowing it to mix with the other ingredients. Stir lightly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
