A delightful twist on the classic mojito, this recipe combines the refreshing flavors of mint and lime with a hint of sweetness.
Place the mint leaves and sugar in the bottom of a glass.
Gently muddle the mint to release its aroma without tearing the leaves.
Add the rum to the glass.
Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Squeeze the lime into the glass, straining out any seeds.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to extract more juice.
Pour in the club soda and stir gently.
Add the soda slowly to maintain its fizz.
Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir again.
Use crushed ice for a more refreshing drink.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve.
Add a lime wedge for an extra touch of presentation.
