1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar. This will release the mint oils and combine them with the sugar, creating a fragrant base for your mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Muddle the lime wedges gently with the mint and sugar mixture to release the juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with an extra mint sprig and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
