Preparation Steps

1

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils and mixing with the sugar.

2

Add Lime Juice

Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

3

Mix in Rum

Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it gently with the muddled mixture using a spoon.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

5

Top with Club Soda

Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix gently with the other ingredients.

6

Garnish

Garnish the cocktail with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for an added touch of freshness.

7

Serve

Serve the Mojito immediately with a straw or a stirrer for mixing.
