Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice of half the lime into the glass, and then drop in the lime half. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Do not pulverize the mint; just muddle gently.

Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
- 4
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and, if desired, a slice of lime on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw.
