Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

1

Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass, place 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 flavor. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much, just enough to infuse the sugar with mint flavor.

2

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the lime half into the glass to enhance the flavor. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors.

3

Add Rum

Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring it’s packed well.

5

Top with Soda Water

Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to stir the mixture gently, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

6

Garnish and Serve

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