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 press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils and combine with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds.
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 into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine it with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Top with Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the club soda over the mixture until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

5
Garnish the Mojito
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. Serve immediately while it's chilled.
