Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1.5 cups White rum
- 3 cups Club soda
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 2 limes Lime slices
- 6 sprigs Mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.
Using a wooden spoon or a muddler, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint's oils and create a fragrant base. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the pitcher and stir well to dissolve the sugar fully.
Pour the white rum into the pitcher and stir to combine with the lime and mint mixture.
Add the club soda to the pitcher, stirring gently until all ingredients are well mixed.
Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to chill the mojito mixture and dilute slightly.
Before serving, add lime slices and extra mint sprigs for garnish.
Pour into individual glasses, ensuring each serving gets some mint leaves and lime slices. Optionally, garnish each glass with an additional mint sprig and lime wedge.
