Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, 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 oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the glass. You can use the other half for garnish later. Stir the mint, sugar, and lime juice together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum and stir gently to combine all the ingredients together.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the drink and maintain its refreshing taste.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice and the other ingredients, filling the glass to the brim. Stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
