1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils without tearing them. This will infuse the sugar with mint flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can use the entire lime instead. Discard the lime halves after squeezing.
3
Mix with Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, up to the rim.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together, but avoid disturbing the mint leaves too much.

6
Garnish and Serve
Optional: 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!
