Method

Preparation

  1. 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 and twist the mint leaves, releasing their oils, and combining them with the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more sugar at this stage. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with club soda. Stir lightly to mix all ingredients without losing the carbonation.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish your Mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
