Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and flavor. Avoid shredding the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

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

  3. 3

    Add White Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, making sure to leave some space for the club soda.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass, allowing it to create a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
