Make the perfect minty mojitos with mint, sugar, and rum - a refreshing hit for summer days.
Ingredients:
  • 10 large mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 1/2 ounces white rum
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (from half a lime)
  • Soda water
  • A few sprigs fresh mint, to garnish
  • Thinly sliced wheels of lime, to garnish
Instructions:
  • In a mortar and pestle, combine mint leaves, sugar, and 1/2 ounce of rum. Grind gently until a smooth paste forms.
  • Pour in the remaining rum into the mortar. If needed, transfer the paste to a small bowl and mix in the rum. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.
  • Strain the mint mixture over a glass filled with ice using a small mesh strainer. Press with a spoon to extract all the rum from the paste. You can also strain the mixture into a large bowl first and then transfer to the glass if needed.
  • Complete the cocktail by pouring in the lime juice, adding soda water, stirring gently, and garnishing with a lime wheel or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
