1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and creates a fragrant base for your mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass with the mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice and into the glass until it is full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Slice the remaining half of the lime into wedges and add it to the glass as a garnish. Optionally, you can add a sprig of mint for extra flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
