Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  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 muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. You can also add the lime quarters to the glass for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Pour in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking, creating a refreshing base for your mojito.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass to the top. This will give your mojito its refreshing fizz.

  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 or a stirrer.
