Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the 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 with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

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 cut the lime into wedges and muddle them along with the mint and sugar to extract more juice.

3. 3

   Add Rum

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

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Soda Water

   Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
