Classic Mojito
Ingredients
• 12 fresh mint leaves
• ½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
• 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 ½ fluid ounces white rum
• ½ cup club soda
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice.
Step 2
Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again. Do not strain the mixture.
Step 3
Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired.
Step 4
Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
