Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the leaves to release their essential oils without tearing them apart.

2. 2

   Add Lime and Sugar

   Cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass along with the granulated sugar. Muddle these ingredients together gently to mix the flavors while releasing the lime juice.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the muddled mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can use crushed ice for a more slushy consistency or large cubes for a classic presentation.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

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

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Stir the mojito gently to mix everything together. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
