1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved in the lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top for a chilled drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture, incorporating the club soda without losing too much carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a wedge of lime and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
