Method
Mojito Directions
- 1
Prep the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Lime and Sugar
Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass with the muddled mint. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the lime and mint. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors, ensuring the lime juice is released.

Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to chill the mixture.

Top with Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to mix without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
