Saint Mojito

Mojito is a classic cocktail originating from Cuba, known for its refreshing combination of mint, lime, sugar, rum, and soda water. Here's how to make a Mojito:

1. In a glass, muddle together the fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and granulated sugar. Gently crush the mint leaves with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their flavors.

2. Fill the glass with ice cubes.

3. Pour the white rum over the ice.

4. Top off the glass with soda water, leaving some space at the top.
