Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
Muddle Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves; you want to release the flavor without tearing them apart.
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it with the muddled mint and lime juice.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is filled to the brim. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
