Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Directions

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils while mixing them with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum and mix well with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full, leaving a little space at the top.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
