1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and combine them with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and dilute it slightly as the ice melts.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. Stir gently to mix the club soda with the mojito mixture.
6
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 for sipping.
