Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by selecting a tall glass, such as a highball or Collins glass. Make sure it's clean and ready for your cocktail.

2. 2

   Muddle Mint and Lime

   In the glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

3. 3

   Add Simple Syrup

   Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.

4. 4

   Add Rum and Ice

   Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Then, fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space for the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda into the glass, allowing it to mix gently with the other ingredients. This will add effervescence to your mojito.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
