1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the other half cut into wedges for extra flavor.
3
Combine with Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the ice doesn't overflow.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. This will add the refreshing fizz to your mojito.
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 and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
