Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into halves. Squeeze the juice from one half directly into the glass with the muddled mint. Reserve the other half for garnish.
- 3
Mix in Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill your drink and keep it refreshing.
