1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together. This releases the essential oils from the mint and helps to dissolve the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. If desired, you can also drop one of the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ice to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice and the mixture until the glass is full, giving it a gentle stir to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
