Mojito Recipe

Preparation Instructions

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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to over-muddle as this can make the drink bitter.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also use a lime juicer for easier extraction. Stir the mixture gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour in the white rum into the glass and stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the rim.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give your mojito its refreshing fizz.

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 with a straw and enjoy!
