1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. 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 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. Continue to muddle the mixture gently for about 10 seconds to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it’s almost full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Use a spoon to gently stir the cocktail to mix the ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
