Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils without tearing them apart.

  2. 2

    Add Sweetness

    Pour in the simple syrup and Bacardi rum. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.

  4. 4

    Top with Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
