Ingredients:
7-8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges
1 tablespoon white sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup ice cubes, crushed
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1/2 cup soda water
Instructions:

Muddle the Mint and Lime:

In a sturdy glass, place the mint leaves and lime wedges.
Add the sugar.
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them, releasing the mint oils and lime juice.
Add the White Rum:

Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture.
Add Crushed Ice:

Fill the glass about 3/4 full with crushed ice cubes.
Top with Soda Water:

Fill the rest of the glass with soda water, stirring gently to mix.
Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with a sprig of mint.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
Tips
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more sugar to taste.
Minty Fresh: Roll the mint leaves between your palms before muddling to release more flavor.
Crushed Ice: Crushed ice works best as it helps keep the drink cool and dilutes it slightly, blending the flavors well.
Enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
