1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much, just enough to get the flavor out.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. This will help dissolve the sugar and enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
3
Add Rum
Next, add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
