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 while mixing with the sugar. Ensure you do not shred the leaves; just bruise them slightly.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of half of the lime into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Remove any seeds that may have fallen in. Set the other half aside for garnish. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full. This will cool down the mixture and prepare it for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix gently with the rest of the ingredients. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, so the soda retains its fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and place it in the glass. Add a sprig of mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
