Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils, while also mixing them with the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half of the lime directly into the glass or shaker. Add the other half to the glass as well for extra flavor.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

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

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the carbonation.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish the drink with mint sprigs and lime wedges. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
