1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just press them until aromatic.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the mint-lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in if necessary, to chill the drink.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Give it a gentle stir to mix the soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito.
