1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves into the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Add the other half to the glass as well, for extra flavor.
3
Pour in Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it well with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
