1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar, releasing the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you just want to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half directly into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. The lime juice will help dissolve the sugar and mix with the mint. Cut the other half into wedges and set aside for garnish.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the sugar is dissolved.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds the fizzy element to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with the lime wedges and a couple of mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer for mixing.
