Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the lime and add the lime wedges to the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint and lime together to release the mint oils and lime juice. Do not over-muddle to avoid bitter flavors from the mint.

  2. 2

    Add the Rum

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

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking, ensuring to leave some space for the club soda.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

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