3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring it's packed to your liking.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an appealing presentation.

Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
