Mixing Steps
- Prepare the lime: Wash the lime and cut it in half. Cut one of the halves into small pieces and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the other half, about 1 ounce, into a Etched Tumbler.
- Handle the mint leaves: Put 10 - 12 fresh mint leaves into the highball glass with the lime juice. Gently muddle them with a muddler or a spoon to release the aroma of the mint leaves.
- Add sugar: Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the glass and stir well to dissolve the sugar in the lime juice.
- Pour in the rum: Pour 2 ounces of white rum into the glass and stir to combine.
- Add ice and soda water: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour in 4 ounces of soda water and give it a gentle stir.
- Garnish: Garnish the glass with the remaining lime pieces and mint leaves. And there you have it, a refreshing and delicious Mojito!
