Mojito Recipe

Preparation of Mojito

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice into the glass, adding the lime wedges as well. Muddle again gently to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the muddled mint, lime, and sugar.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime slice on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
