Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

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 press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add an extra half lime's juice.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour in the white rum and stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice and Club Soda

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently again to combine.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

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