Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just bruise them to enhance the flavor.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also drop the other half into the glass for more flavor if desired.

3. 3

   Pour in Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it gently with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice to combine the flavors.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for club soda. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. You can adjust the amount of club soda according to your taste preference for a stronger or lighter drink.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mint and lime cocktail!
