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 oils while mixing them with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just press enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, making sure to catch any seeds. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more sugar at this stage.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, packing them down slightly to fit.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add the refreshing fizz to your mojito.
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 drink!
