1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves too much; just enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum over the mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preference. This will chill the cocktail and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will give the cocktail its fizzy characteristic.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. You can add a straw if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor.
