Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves. This releases the essential oils from the mint, which will add flavor to your drink.
- 2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, ensuring to remove any seeds. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add more lime juice to taste.

Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can either use crushed ice or whole ice cubes depending on your preference.
