1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves. This releases the essential oils and enhances the flavor.
2
Add Sugar
Add the sugar to the glass with the crushed mint. Muddle gently again to mix the sugar with the mint and create a paste-like mixture. This will help dissolve the sugar in the next steps.
3
Squeeze Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also cut the other half into wedges and set aside for garnish. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors.
4
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring it’s well-packed.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to mix the club soda with the other ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
