Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle 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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint's essential oils, enhancing the flavor of your mojito.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring that the sugar begins to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass and stir the mixture well. This will blend the flavors together.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep your drink chilled.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour the soda water over the ice and mojito mixture, filling the glass to the top. This adds the refreshing fizz to your drink.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer for mixing and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
