- Put the sugar in the bottom of a glass and pour the citrus juice over to just cover it. Add 2 long sprigs of mint. Muddle (gently pound) the juice, sugar and mint.
- Add ice to the top of the glass, fill the glass two-thirds full with soda water.
- Add the rum.
- Stir and add a dash of Angostura bitters.
- Top with slices of lime.
History of the cocktail
Rum was available as a medicinal 'tot' to slaves working on sugar plantations in Cuba - they used it as a pick-me-up by adding mint, water and sugar cane to take the edge off. Mojito literally means 'something a little wet'.
