Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Muddle the 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 muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, allowing the cocktail to chill.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture. This will add fizz and lightness to the drink.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
