Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated 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. Do this for about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass to add more flavor.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it with the mint, sugar, and lime juice until combined.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full, giving it a gentle stir to mix the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Add the lime wedges and a sprig of mint for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
