Ingredients

5 cl White rum
1 pc Lime
2 tsp Raw sugar
10 pcs Fresh mint leaves (to taste)
10-15 cl Soda water
5 pcs Ice cubes (preferably crushed)

Instructions

Cut the lime into wedges and place them in a glass.
Add the sugar and mint leaves. Gently press/muddle to release the lime juice and mint flavors (without bruising the mint too roughly).
Pour in the white rum.
Fill the glass with crushed ice.
Top with soda water and stir gently.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
Sweeter variation: add a little more sugar or simple syrup. Fruity mojito: muddle in strawberries or mango. Non-alcoholic (Virgin Mojito): skip the rum and top up with extra soda.
