Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the fresh mint leaves and the lime. This releases the mint oils and lime juice, which are essential for flavor.

Add Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- 3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This keeps the drink cold and refreshing.
- 4
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is almost full. This adds a fizzy element to the drink.

Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
