Base Ingredients

Method

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 and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just bruise them slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add additional lime juice to taste.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full, then gently stir to mix all the ingredients together.

  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 mojito!
