Ingredients

• 1 whole Fresh orange
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 ounces White rum
• 4 ounces Club soda
• 1 cup Crushed ice
• 1 slice Orange slice
• 1 sprig Mint sprig

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fresh orange in half. Squeeze the juice from one half and set it aside. Slice the other half into wedges for muddling.

Step 2

In a sturdy glass, add the orange wedges, mint leaves, and sugar.

Step 3

Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press and crush the orange wedges and mint leaves to release their juices and aromas. Do not over-muddle, as this can make the mint taste bitter.

Step 4

Add the lime juice and the freshly squeezed orange juice to the glass. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some room for the liquid ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the white rum over the ice, followed by the club soda. Stir gently to mix.

Step 7

Garnish the drink with the orange slice and a sprig of fresh mint.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your zesty and refreshing Orange Mojito!
