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 crush the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If desired, you can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the ice is packed in to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
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 and enjoy your refreshing drink!
