1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop in one half of the lime for additional flavor. Stir the mixture to help dissolve the sugar.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink. Make sure to pack the ice well to keep the drink cool.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is almost full. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs for an extra touch. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
