Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 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
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
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients well.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them lightly to create a refreshing chill.
- 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
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a few lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw.
