Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and white sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves against the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you want to just bruise them.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the sugar starts to dissolve.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and give it a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients together.
