Method

Mojito Preparation

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the white sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar.

Add Rum

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

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the ice to chill the mixture.

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.

Garnish and Serve

Cut the reserved lime half into wedges and place one or two in the glass. Add a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw.
