1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you just want to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. Use a spoon to stir the mixture gently, dissolving the sugar completely.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in if necessary to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to stir the drink gently, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
