1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just bruise them slightly.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add additional lime juice to taste.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the 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 full, then gently stir to mix all the ingredients together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
