Preparation

1. In a glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves and sugar together. Muddling involves gently pressing the mint leaves to release their flavor without tearing them.
2. Squeeze fresh lime juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste preferences.
3. Pour the white rum into the glass.
4. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
5. Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients.
6. Top off the glass with soda water (club soda) to add fizz and dilute the mixture slightly. You can adjust the amount of soda water based on your desired level of sweetness and strength.
7. Garnish the Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
8. Give it a final gentle stir, and your Mojito is ready to be enjoyed!
