Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
- 2
Add Sugar
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the muddled mint and lime. Gently stir or muddle again to combine the sugar with the juices, allowing it to dissolve slightly.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture, ensuring it blends well with the mint, lime, and sugar.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level.
- 5
Top with Soda Water
Pour the soda water over the ice and rum mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
