1
Muddle 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 the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint oils, which are essential for the flavor of the mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop in one half for added flavor. Muddle the mixture again to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Add Rum and Ice
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture. Then, fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
