Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Ingredients

    Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Add the other half directly into the glass after squeezing.

  4. 4

    Pour in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass with the muddled mixture.

  5. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors.

  6. 6

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level.

  7. 7

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Give it a gentle stir to mix.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.
