Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, 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 oils and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Squeeze Lime

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. Continue to muddle the mint, sugar, and lime juice together until well combined.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass, stirring gently to combine the flavors.

4. 4

   Add Ice and Soda

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, then slowly pour club soda over the ice. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink, ensuring the mint and lime mixture is well distributed.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Optional: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
