1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. 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 drop one half in for extra flavor. Stir the mint, sugar, and lime juice together until the sugar dissolves.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass and stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ice to cool the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Carefully pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. You can adjust the amount of club soda to your taste preference.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
