1
Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint oils. This should take about 20 seconds.
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. Add the other half as wedges for garnish. Muddle lightly again to mix.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is well chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, allowing it to mix naturally. Stir gently if needed.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint and additional lime wedges if desired.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick, and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
