1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler to mix and dissolve the sugar into the juices, creating a flavorful base for your cocktail.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing them to settle into the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass to the top. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with an additional sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
