1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
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 press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too finely.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Add the other half to the glass as well (you can also cut it into wedges if preferred).
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the brim. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a few additional mint leaves and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
