Equipment
- Tall glass
- Muddler
Instructions
Step 1: Place the lime juice, rum and sugar syrup in a tall glass. Use a muddler to bruise the mint and release its flavour.
Step 2: Fill the glass with ice, pour over the rum and soda water, then stir.
Step 3: Garnish with a lime slice and mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Notes
To make homemade sugar syrup, heat equal parts water and white sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Cool before using; it can be stored in the fridge for months.
For a nonalcoholic mojito, leave out the white rum.
A pestle can replace a muddler. If you have neither, crush the mint well in your hand before adding it to the glass.
