1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice into the glass, ensuring to add the wedges as well for additional flavor.
3
Muddle Together
Gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime together until well combined. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.

4
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preference.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full, giving the drink a gentle stir to mix.

7
Garnish the Mojito
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a couple of lime wedges on the rim of the glass for a refreshing look.
