1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down and twist the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.
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 additional flavor.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice, stirring gently to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
