Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves into tiny pieces.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of half the lime into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. Add the other half of the lime, cut into wedges, into the glass as well.

3. 3

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine the muddled mint, sugar, lime juice, and rum.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

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