Mojito Recipe

Making the Mojito

1. 1

   Prepare the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar.

2. 2

   Muddle Ingredients

   Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint oils and helps dissolve the sugar.

3. 3

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also add the squeezed lime half into the glass for extra flavor.

4. 4

   Mix in the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to mix the ingredients together.

5. 5

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

6. 6

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
