Equipment

1 Muddler
1 Citrus Juicer

Ingredients

2 oz Lyre's White Cane
1 oz Fresh lime juice
2 tbsp Cane sugar
10-15 Mojito mint leaves plus additional for garnish
2-4 oz Chilled club soda
1 sprig Mojito Mint (for garnish)

Instructions

Add fresh lime juice and cane sugar into a cocktail shaker and muddle until the sugar is almost dissolved. Add mint leaves and muddle again gently. Be careful not to rip the leaves into pieces. A quick and gentle muddle is enough to release the flavor.
Add Lyre's and ice cubes to the shaker and shake for 10 to 12 seconds.
Fill a Highball glass with crushed ice and mint leaves. Slap or press the leaves before adding them to release their fragrant aromas.
Strain the mocktail in the glass and top it with chilled soda water.
Add more crushed ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
