Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the juices and oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much; just enough to release their flavor.

  2. 2

    Add the Rum

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

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can crush the ice if you prefer a slushy texture or use whole cubes for a classic mojito.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add fizz and dilute the drink slightly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

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