Mojito Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle 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. This releases the mint oils and combines them with the sugar to create a fragrant base.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass or shaker. Stir again to mix the rum with the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Serving

    Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink cold.

  5. 5

    Add Club Soda

    Top off the glass with club soda, pouring it gently to avoid overflows. Stir lightly to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
