Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Cocktail Preparation
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 press the mint leaves to release their oils and combine with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar completely in the mixture.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is chilled and refreshing.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.
