  • Stir to mix everything well.
  • Top with sparkling water and give it one last gentle stir.
  • Garnish with a mint sprig and lime wheel.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • If you don’t have a sugar cube, you can use 1 tsp of brown sugar instead.
  • Clap the mint between your hands before garnishing to boost aroma.
  • Dark rum gives this mojito more body and a slightly caramel-like finish.
