Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves into small pieces.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop the spent lime halves into the glass for added flavor.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture.

4. 4

   Mix the Ingredients

   Use a spoon or straw to gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients well, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.

5. 5

   Add Club Soda

   Top off the glass with club soda. Pour it slowly to maintain the carbonation. Give it a gentle stir to mix.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime for a fresh presentation.
