Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the whole lime into the glass, then drop the lime half into the glass as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.

Add the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients together.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full. This will help to chill the drink and dilute it slightly as you add the soda.
