1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down to release the mint's essential oils and combine with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass or shaker. You can also cut the lime into wedges and muddle it together with the mint and sugar for added flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass or shaker with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, making sure to pack them in nicely.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until the glass is nearly full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
