1
Muddle 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 releases the mint's essential oils, enhancing the flavor of your mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring that the sugar begins to dissolve.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir the mixture well. This will blend the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep your drink chilled.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice and mojito mixture, filling the glass to the top. This adds the refreshing fizz to your drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer for mixing and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
