True Lime Mojito

Print Recipe

Description

Rum is one of Cuba’s most beloved exports, and pairs perfectly with the citrus and mint flavors.

Ingredients

10 fresh mint leaves
1 packet True Lime
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 fluid ounces white rum
club soda
ice cubes

Directions

Place mint leaves, True Lime, sugar and rum in a sturdy glass.
Use a muddler to crush the mint to release the mint oil. (Be sure to bruise, not shred, the mint leaves to best release the oils.) Do not strain the mixture.
Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour club soda over the ice. Stir, taste, and add more True Lime if desired.
Garnish with a mint leaf.
