Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils, mixing them with the lime juice. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar

    Add the granulated sugar to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler again to press the mixture together, helping to dissolve the sugar. If needed, you can add a splash of club soda to help dissolve the sugar more easily.

  3. 3

    Add Rum and Ice

    Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine with the mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Fill the glass with ice cubes to about three-quarters full.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Top off the drink with club soda, pouring it over the ice until the glass is filled. You can adjust the amount of club soda to your taste.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the cocktail with a couple of lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping. Enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
