Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Mint Lime Mixture

   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 press the mint leaves against the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the other half's juice for a stronger lime flavor. If desired, you can also drop in the lime halves for added flavor.

3. 3

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the cocktail its refreshing fizz.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
