A delightful twist on the classic mojito, this recipe combines fresh mint and lime with a hint of sweetness for a refreshing cocktail.
Place the fresh mint leaves and sugar in a tall glass.
Gently muddle the mint to release its oils without tearing the leaves.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the glass.
Roll the lime on the counter before juicing to extract more juice.
Pour in the light rum and stir to combine.
Use a jigger to measure the rum for consistent flavor.
Fill the glass with crushed ice and top with club soda.
Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge, then serve.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
