Method

Preparation

Muddle the Mint and Lime

In a sturdy glass, add 10 fresh mint leaves and 1 whole lime cut into wedges. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the mint and lime. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.

Add the Rum

Pour in 2 ounces of white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Mix with Soda

Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with 4 ounces of club soda. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

Garnishing

Garnish the Drink

Add a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. This adds a beautiful presentation and enhances the aroma when sipping.

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
