1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass and then drop the lime half in as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. This adds fizziness to the drink.
5
Garnish and Serve
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 cocktail!
