Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, 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 to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to blend all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Soda Water

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, and top off with soda water. Gently stir to combine without losing the carbonation.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint on top for a refreshing presentation.
