Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves and sugar together to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half of the lime into the glass after squeezing.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is almost full.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice and stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

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.
