Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the lime to extract the juice and add it to the glass. Use a muddler to gently press down on the mint leaves and mix them with the sugar and lime juice. This releases the mint oils and combines the flavors.

2. 2

   Add the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.

3. 3

   Add Ice

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

4. 4

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. This will add fizz and dilute the mixture slightly.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
