Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves into the sugar to release their oils, creating a fragrant base for your cocktail.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, being careful to catch any seeds. If desired, you can also add a few lime wedges to enhance the flavor.

3. 3

   Mix in Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all ingredients together.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them firmly to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add fizziness to your mojito.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
