1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass, being careful to avoid any seeds. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mint and lime mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preference, packing them in if you like a colder drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, giving a gentle stir to mix everything together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
