1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do this carefully to avoid tearing the leaves apart too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, which will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a fizzy element to the drink. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
