Method
Preparation
Mint and Sugar Mixture
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Do this for about 30 seconds, taking care not to tear the leaves too much.
Adding Lime Juice
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the sugar begins to dissolve in the lime juice.
Incorporating the Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Adding Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, packing them in gently to ensure a good chill.
Garnishing and Serving
Garnish the Mojitos
Garnish each mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
Serving
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing mojitos!
