Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients well.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them lightly to create a refreshing chill.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Use a spoon or straw to stir gently, mixing the drink without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with a few lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw.
