Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle 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 while mixing them with the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the other half cut into wedges for extra flavor. Mix well with the muddled mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum over the mint-lime mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink cold.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, filling it to the top. Stir gently to combine.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
