What is the best way to mock a static method using Mockito?

I’ve written a factory to produce java.sql.Connection objects:

public class MySQLDatabaseConnectionFactory implements DatabaseConnectionFactory {

    @Override 
    public Connection getConnection() {
        try {
            return DriverManager.getConnection(...);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

I want to validate the parameters passed to DriverManager.getConnection, but since it’s a static method, I don’t know how to mock it. I’m using JUnit 4 and mockito mock static method for testing. What is the best approach for this use case?
