Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can add the wedges to the glass for added flavor.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture in the glass.

4. 4

   Mix the Ingredients

   Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors combine well.

5. 5

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing the ice to chill the mixture.

6. 6

   Top with Soda Water

   Pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

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