Here’s a simple and refreshing classic mojito recipe:
### Ingredients
- 2 ounces white rum
- 0.75 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1.5 teaspoons sugar
- 4 fresh mint leaves (plus a sprig for garnish)
- Ice cubes
- Club soda (to top off)
- Lime wheel (optional garnish)
### Instructions
1. **Muddle**: In a sturdy glass, muddle the sugar and mint leaves gently to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the mint into tiny pieces.
2. **Mix**: Add the rum and lime juice, then stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
3. **Ice & Soda**: Fill the glass with ice cubes and top off with club soda.
4. **Garnish**: Clap the mint sprig between your palms to release its aroma, then tuck it into the glass. Add a lime wheel for extra flair.
Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing balance of mint, lime, and rum! Would you like tips on variations or pairings?
