Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 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 and twist the mint leaves with the sugar. This helps release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
