1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid shredding the leaves too much; just bruise them enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the other half's juice or cut it into wedges to garnish later. Stir gently to combine the mixture.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir again to ensure the rum is well mixed with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the mixture and create a refreshing cocktail.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and mixture. This will add fizziness to your Mojito. Adjust the amount of club soda to taste.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
