Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be 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. If you prefer, you can also add a few lime wedges to the mixture for added flavor.

3. 3

   Add Rum

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

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top to add the soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix everything together.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
