Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and juice one half into the glass. You can also cut the other half into wedges and add them to the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

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

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with additional mint leaves or lime wedges if desired.
