Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils and mixing with the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, ensuring to extract as much juice as possible. Reserve the other half for garnish.

3. 3

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top for the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

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

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
