Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, 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 essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves; just bruise them lightly.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer, you can also cut the lime into wedges and add them directly to the glass for a more robust flavor.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, lime juice, and sugar mixture.

4. 4

   Mix and Add Ice

   Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients. Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon to gently stir the cocktail to mix the club soda with the other ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a few additional mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
