Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the granulated sugar and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils without tearing the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Measure and pour in 2 oz of Flor de Caña 4 rum into the glass. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Soda Water

    Top off the mixture with 4 oz of soda water. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.

  5. 5

    Add Bitters

    Finish your mojito by adding 2 dashes of bitters on top. This will enhance the flavor profile of your drink.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a few mint leaves and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with ice.
