Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Next, cut the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Muddle again to release the lime juice.

  2. 2

    Add the Rum

    Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture in the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is almost full.

  4. 4

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Adjust the amount of soda water to your taste.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
