Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass or shaker, mixing it thoroughly with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is almost full.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Gently pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing the fizz.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a straw for sipping, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
