Mojito Recipe

Prepare the mint and lime

In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add lime juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the lime half into the glass for extra flavor. Muddle the mixture a bit more to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

Add rum

Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.

Add ice and club soda

Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently to mix.

Garnish and serve

Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
