Mojito Recipe

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, 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. Do this for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and juice one half into the glass with the mint and sugar. Reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar completely.

Add Rum

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

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to chill the mixture.

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.

Garnish and Serve

Cut the reserved lime half into wedges and place one or two on the rim of the glass for garnish. Optionally, add a sprig of fresh mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
