Authentic Cuban Mojito



Ingredients:
  • 10 fresh mint leaves + a sprig for garnish
  • 1 lime (use half for juice + a slice for garnish)
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar (more or less to taste)
  • 1 c. ice cubes
  • 1 oz. white rum
  • 1/2 c. club soda
Place 10 mint leaves into a sturdy glass.  Squeeze 1/2 of the lime juice into glass. Use a spoon to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils.  Add the sugar and crush with spoon again to release the juices; do not strain the mixture.  Fill the glass 3/4 full with ice. Pour rum over  ice and fill the glass with club soda.  Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the lime slice & mint sprig.
