1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and aromas. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much; just enough to blend the flavors.
2
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Fill with Ice
Add ice cubes to fill the glass. You can use crushed ice if you prefer a slushy texture.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
5
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 easy sipping.
