Mojito Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, combine 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 essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture and stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to dissolve the sugar.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

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

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your Mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
