Mojito Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Squeeze the lime juice over the mint and sugar, then use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves, releasing their oils and flavors.

  2. 2

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full, and give it a gentle stir to mix.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, and serve immediately with a straw.
