1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of one lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime. Continue to muddle the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves. This will create a flavorful base for your mojito.
3
Mix in Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir well to combine all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to fill the glass as much as possible.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
