Mojito Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint's essential oils and helps dissolve the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass containing the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop the lime halves into the glass for an extra flavor infusion.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with lime wedges and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer for easy mixing.
