1
Muddle the 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 down on the mint leaves to release their oils and fragrance, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar starts to dissolve.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, stirring well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in nicely to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
