Ingredients
1/2 lime, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
1 mint sprig, for garnish
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Ice cubes
1/4 cup white rum
1/2 cup chilled club soda
Directions
Place the lime pieces and torn mint leaves into a cocktail glass.
Add the granulated sugar to the glass.
Gently muddle the lime and mint together, pressing just enough to release the mint oils and lime juice without crushing the mint leaves into small pieces.
Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Top the cocktail with chilled club soda and stir gently.
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and serve immediately.
Comments
All ingredients are stocked year-round at any Charlotte chain, with fresh mint and limes reliably available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI. The ten-minute claim is honest for a single drink—muddling, mixing, and pouring takes just that long. At roughly $3 per serving (lime, fresh mint, premium white rum), this is a reasonable weekend cocktail but not a budget weeknight drink. The mojito does not improve with sitting and should be consumed immediately, making it more of an occasion drink than a make-ahead option.
