Description
Mojitos are light, crisp, and perfectly balanced, making them a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 10 fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 teaspoons sugar (or simple syrup)
- 2 ounces white rum
- Ice cubes
- Club soda (to top)
- Lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
In a sturdy glass, add the mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the ingredients together to release the lime juice and mint oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, or the mint can turn bitter.
Pour in white rum and give it a quick stir. Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
Pour in club soda to fill the glass and give it a final gentle stir.
Garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime slice. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
