Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 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 oils. This should take about 10 seconds.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor. Stir gently to combine.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the mint, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the cocktail and keep it refreshing.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. This adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

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