1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you want to infuse the flavors without making it bitter.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, allowing the sugar to start dissolving.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, stirring gently to mix it with the mint, lime, and sugar.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to nearly the top, ensuring the cocktail stays chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the mojito its signature fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with the lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
