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 press down on the mint leaves. This releases the mint's essential oils and combines it with the sugar.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and mix well with the muddled ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon or straw to gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients without losing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
