Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full.
Garnish
Garnish with lime wedges and mint sprigs for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Serve immediately with a straw or swizzle stick, and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
