Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh orange
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 1 slice Orange slice
- 1 sprig Mint sprig
Instructions
Cut the fresh orange in half. Squeeze the juice from one half and set it aside. Slice the other half into wedges for muddling.
In a sturdy glass, add the orange wedges, mint leaves, and sugar.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press and crush the orange wedges and mint leaves to release their juices and aromas. Do not over-muddle, as this can make the mint taste bitter.
Add the lime juice and the freshly squeezed orange juice to the glass. Stir to combine.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some room for the liquid ingredients.
Pour the white rum over the ice, followed by the club soda. Stir gently to mix.
Garnish the drink with the orange slice and a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your zesty and refreshing Orange Mojito!
