I recently tried this classic mojito recipe, and it’s a refreshing treat that’s perfect for warm days! The combination of mint, lime, and sparkling water makes every sip so invigorating.
Ingredients:
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum
- 1/2 cup soda water
- Mint sprigs and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
- Muddle the Mint and Lime: In a sturdy glass, add the mint leaves and lime wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them together. This releases the mint oils and lime juice.
- Add Sugar: Sprinkle the sugar over the muddled mixture. Muddle it a bit more to dissolve the sugar and combine the flavors.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in the Rum: Add the white rum over the ice.
- Mix in Soda Water: Top it off with soda water and gently stir to combine everything.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
