Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the 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 down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Mix until the sugar starts to dissolve.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If desired, you can also add the lime halves to the mixture for more flavor. Stir the mixture well to combine.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to chill the mixture effectively.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add the refreshing fizz to your mojito.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

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