1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar, releasing the mint oils and combining them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar, then drop the spent lime pieces into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the mixture effectively.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the soda with the other ingredients without losing too much carbonation.

6
Garnish the Drink
Add the mint sprigs and lime wedges on top of the drink for garnish. This enhances the presentation and provides additional aroma.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick, allowing your guests to enjoy the refreshing flavors of the mojito.
