Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and stir gently to combine with the muddled mint and sugar.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass and stir to mix all the ingredients together.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full, and give it a gentle stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for presentation.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
