1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the white sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into halves and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. You can also add the other half for extra tartness if desired. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Club Soda
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour in the club soda. Stir gently to mix everything together without losing the carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
