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 muddle the mint and sugar together, releasing the oils from the mint. This will enhance the flavor of your mojito.
2
Juice the Lime
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Drop in the quarters after juicing to add more flavor.
3
Add the Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture.
4
Mix the Ingredients
Using a spoon, stir the mixture well to combine the mint, lime, sugar, and rum, ensuring the sugar is dissolved.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
