Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime. Cut the lime into wedges before adding. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and lime together to release their juices and oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
- 2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler again to mix the sugar in, pressing lightly to dissolve it. This creates a flavorful base for your Mojito.
- 3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, pouring it over the muddled mixture. Stir gently with a spoon to combine all the ingredients.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can either use crushed ice or whole cubes, depending on your preference.
- 5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will give the Mojito its refreshing fizz.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
