Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

1

Muddle the Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils and mix with the sugar. Do not pulverize the leaves; just muddle enough to release the flavor.

2

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

3

Add Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.

5

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
