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 press the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. Set the other half aside for garnish.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass, combining it with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full, leaving some space at the top for the soda water.
5
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Stir gently to combine the soda with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
