Mojito Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred them too much.

Add Sugar and Lime
Cut the lime into wedges. Add the lime wedges to the glass with the mint leaves and sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Muddle the mint and lime together with the sugar to combine the flavors.

Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, which will help keep the drink chilled and refreshing.

Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is full, adding a bit more or less according to your taste preference.
