Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
