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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This will release the essential oils of the mint and help dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the cocktail.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Give it one last gentle stir to combine.
6
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
