Mojito

Ingredients

• 30ml / 1 oz lime juice, fresh
• 30ml / 1 oz sugar syrup, homemade (Note 1)
• 10 mint leaves
• 60 ml / 2 oz white rum (I use Bicardi, Note 2)
• 1/2 cup (125ml) club soda / soda water (Note 3)

Garnishes

• Lime wedges or slices
• Mint sprigs

Steps

1. Put the lime juice, rum and sugar syrup in a tall glass. Bruise the mint with a muddler (Note 4) to release its flavor.
2. After filling the glass with ice, pour the rum and soda water over it and stir.
3. Finish with a lime slice and mint leaves as garnishes, then serve straightaway.
