1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much; you want to just bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can add the other half as wedges for garnish later. Mix the mint, sugar, and lime juice together gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it well with the mint, sugar, and lime mixture.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to create a refreshing chill.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will help to keep the mint and lime flavors combined.
6
Garnish and Serve
Stir the drink gently to combine all ingredients. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
