1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and oils. Do this for about 30 seconds to ensure the flavors meld together.
2
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for club soda.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
