1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and juice it directly into the glass, being careful to catch any seeds. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Mix with Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar completely.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in if necessary to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the top. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink without disturbing the muddled mint at the bottom.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
