 How to Make a Classic Mojito

Ingredients:

 * 5-6 fresh mint leaves

 * 1 lime, cut into wedges

 * 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

 * 2 ounces white rum

 * Club soda or sparkling water

 * Ice

 * Additional mint sprigs and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions:

 * Muddle the mint: In a tall glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime wedges and sugar. This releases the mint's essential oils.

 * Add rum: Pour the white rum into the glass.

 * Fill with ice: Fill the glass with ice.

 * Top with soda: Top off the glass with club soda or sparkling water.

 * Garnish: Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.

Tips for the Perfect Mojito:

 * Use fresh ingredients: Fresh mint and lime juice make a big difference in flavor.

 * Don't over-muddle: Over-muddling can make the mint taste bitter.

 * Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter mojito, add a bit more sugar.

 * Chill your glassware: Chilling your glass before adding ingredients will help keep your mojito cold.

 * Experiment with variations: Try adding fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a twist.

Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
