Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass, releasing the oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the glass. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add more lime juice to taste. Drop the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

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

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the mint and lime mixture is evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint for a fresh look. Optionally, you can add a lime wedge for extra decoration. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
