Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Muddle for about 15-20 seconds, being careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the lime halves into the glass for extra flavor.

3. 3

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine the ingredients. Ensure that the sugar dissolves completely.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is well chilled.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing carbonation.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
