1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press 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 bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the mojito and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add the fizzy element that makes a mojito so refreshing.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass. Stir gently before serving to combine the layers. Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
