1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; you want to release the flavor without creating a mess.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass, and then drop the wedges into the glass as well. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing them to sit above the liquid.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
