Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Fresh mint leaves (10)
  • Lime (1, cut into 4 wedges)
  • White sugar (2 teaspoons, or to taste)
  • White rum (1.5 ounces)
  • Club soda (1/2 cup)
  • Crushed ice (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime, releasing the mint oils and lime juice.

  3. Fill the glass almost to the top with crushed ice.
  4. Pour the rum over the ice, ensuring that it trickles down to mix with the muddled mint, lime, and sugar.
  5. Top up the glass with club soda and give it a gentle stir to combine.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mint Mojito!
