Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass, making sure to remove any seeds. You can also add the lime halves to the glass for extra flavor.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full.

5. 5

   Top with Soda Water

   Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full and the ingredients are mixed. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
