A delightful twist on the classic mojito, perfect for a refreshing treat.
Muddle a portion of the fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a tall glass to release their aroma.
Gently muddle the mint to avoid bitterness from over-crushing.
Add the sugar and squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass, then stir until the sugar dissolves.
Use a spoon to stir thoroughly, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved.
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Use crushed ice for a more traditional mojito texture.
Pour the light rum over the ice and stir gently.
Stir gently to mix without diluting the drink too much.
Top off the glass with club soda and give it a light stir.
Leave some room at the top of the glass for garnishes.
Garnish with a slice of lime and a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
