Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Take a highball glass and set it aside for mixing your Mojito.

2. 2

   Muddle the Mint

   Place the fresh mint leaves in the bottom of the glass. Add the granulated sugar on top of the mint.

3. 3

   Juice the Lime

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over the mint and sugar mixture in the glass. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for extra flavor.

4. 4

   Muddle the Mixture

   Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime together. Be careful not to tear the mint too much; just press it enough to release its oils and flavor.

5. 5

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture in the glass.

6. 6

   Mix with Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.

7. 7

   Add Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice in the glass. This will add fizz and balance the sweetness of the sugar.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Stir the Mojito gently to combine all the ingredients. Finally, garnish with a sprig of mint on top.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
