1
Muddle the mint and lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and lime together to release the juices and oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves excessively.
2
Add sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Muddle again gently to combine the sugar with the mint and lime juices until the sugar starts to dissolve.
3
Add rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with club soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the club soda with the other ingredients without losing carbonation.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
