Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 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 muddle the mint leaves with the sugar. This will release the essential oils from the mint.
- 2
Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine and dissolve the sugar.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir well to combine all the flavors together.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- 5
Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Give it a gentle stir to mix.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
