1
Muddle 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 muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the oils from the mint without shredding the leaves.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine and dissolve the sugar.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir the mixture again to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to mix the drink without disturbing the mint too much.
6
Garnish
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs on top for an appealing presentation.
