Method
Preparation
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 and sugar together. This will release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice and the mixture, filling the glass.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
