1
Muddle the mint and sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add lime
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar, then drop the wedges into the glass as well.
3
Mix in the rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, and use a spoon to stir the mixture gently, ensuring that the sugar dissolves completely.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with club soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish
Garnish the mojito with an additional mint sprig and a lime wedge if desired.
