Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice into the glass. You can also drop the wedges into the glass for extra flavor. Muddle again gently to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Incorporate the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice and stir gently to mix all the ingredients without losing carbonation.

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.
