1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, and mix well with the other ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Classic Mojito!
