Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 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 down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Muddle until the sugar is well mixed with the mint.
- 2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass or shaker with the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the cocktail cold.
- 4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture, allowing it to mix gently without disturbing the mint too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
