Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together. This releases the essential oils from the mint and helps to dissolve the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Continue to muddle gently to integrate the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
- 3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cool.
