Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Place the fresh mint leaves and sugar into a sturdy glass (preferably a highball glass).
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. Drop one of the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle (crush) the mint, sugar, and lime juice together. This will release the oils from the mint and combine the flavors.
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the white rum over the ice.
Top the glass with club soda, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
Stir the mixture gently with a long spoon to combine all the ingredients.
Garnish with an additional sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cuban Mojito!
