1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer, you can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Continue to muddle the mint and lime juice with the sugar until well combined.
4
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine with the muddled mixture.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
