1
Muddle 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 muddle them together. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much; you want to release the oils without shredding them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the fresh lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the other half cut into wedges for extra flavor.
3
Pour in Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to give it a light stir, mixing the club soda gently with the other ingredients.
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 with a straw for easy sipping.
