Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

1

Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add a few generous drops from the other half, depending on your taste. Leave the lime halves in the glass for extra flavor.

3

Mix in Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to keep the drink chilled.

5

Top with Club Soda

Slowly pour club soda over the ice-filled glass until it reaches the top. This will add fizz to your cocktail.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a fresh sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
