Mojitos
With fresh mint and lime, mojitos are tart, sweet, and super refreshing.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice, from about 2 limes
- 4 heaping teaspoons superfine sugar
- 12 fresh mint leaves, divided, plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup white rum
- ¼ cup club soda
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a tall (10-ounce) glass, combine the lime juice and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Tear the mint leaves in half and add them to the glass. Using a muddle stick or end of a wooden spoon, gently stir and mash the mint to release the mint oils. Add the rum, crushed ice, and club soda. Stir, then tuck remaining the mint sprigs and lime wedges into the top of glass.
