Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito 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 and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime

    Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, and then drop the wedges in as well. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to keep the drink cold.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour club soda over the ice and mint mixture, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine.

  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.
