1
Muddle the 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 down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils and flavor. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Squeeze the Lime
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can add the other half if you prefer a stronger lime flavor. Discard the lime halves after juicing.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture, ensuring the mint and sugar are well combined with the rum.
4
Mix with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until it reaches the rim. Stir gently once more to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint or a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
