1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, lime juice, and sugar mixture. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking, making sure to leave some space at the top for soda water.
5
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. This will help maintain the fizziness of the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy the refreshing flavors.
