1
Muddle 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 essential oils and mix with the sugar. Do this carefully to avoid tearing the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the mint, sugar, and lime. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, typically to the top of the rim.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the drink its refreshing fizz.
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, and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
