1
Muddle 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 crush the mint leaves and mix them with the sugar, releasing the mint oils and creating a fragrant base.
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 of the lime into the glass for additional flavor. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is chilled and refreshing.
5
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz and lighten the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
