1
Muddle the 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 them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can add the other half for extra tartness if desired. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it thoroughly with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, allowing the drink to chill and become refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda gently over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz and help balance the flavors.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing drink!
