Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add the Lime

    Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice of the lime wedges into the glass, then drop the wedges in as well. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add the Rum

    Pour in the white rum into the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice and Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top off with club soda. Stir gently to mix everything together without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
