Method

Mojito Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

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

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Muddle Again

    Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime together to release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar.

  4. 4

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine with the muddled mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  6. 6

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
