Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them lightly.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice (1 oz) over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum (2 oz) to the mixture and stir again to mix all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes (1 cup) to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda (4 oz) over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the mint too much.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
