1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, 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. The goal is to release the mint oils and blend them with the sugar without tearing the leaves into small pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice of the lime quarters into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Drop the spent lime quarters into the glass for extra flavor.
3
Pour in Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it gently with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir the mixture softly to combine the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir the drink gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
