Equipment

  • 1 8 oz heavy-bottomed glass
  • 1 muddler (metal or wooden)

Ingredients
  

  • 10 fresh spearmint leaves + 2 sprigs of spearmint
  • 1/2 fresh lime, cut into four wedges
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 1/2 oz white rum (white rum makes the best mojito)
  • 1/2 cup or less chilled club soda

Instructions
 

  • Place the spearmint leaves and one lime wedge in the bottom of an 8 oz heavy-bottomed glass.  Use a muddler to lightly crush the spearmint and lime juice together.
  • Add two more lime wedges with 1 tbsp sugar and muddle again. (Try not to completely pulverize the mint so you still have some intact leaves.)
  • Fill the glass with the muddled mixture with ice cubes.
  • Pour the white rum over the ice and then fill the remainder of the glass with club soda.
  • Add two sprigs of spearmint into the glass. Stir, taste and if needed add another 1 tbsp sugar.
  • Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
