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 the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Do not shred the mint; just press enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the lime and mint mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will create a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
