Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Aim for a fragrant mixture, but avoid tearing the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Add the lime half (the squeezed one) to the mixture as well. Muddle gently again to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Rum

    Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring it is packed well to keep the drink chilled.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled to the top. Use a spoon or straw to stir gently, mixing the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
