1
Muddle the 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 and combine them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also add the lime halves to the glass for extra flavor. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and gently stir to mix the drink without disturbing the muddled mint at the bottom.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the Mojito with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing drink!
