1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint and sugar together, releasing the mint's essential oils and creating a fragrant base for your drink.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for extra flavor. Gently muddle again to mix the flavors.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it well with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ice to chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
