Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the 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 press the mint leaves against the glass to release their oils and mix with the sugar. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. You can also add the lime halves to the glass for extra flavor.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it well with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in slightly to keep the drink cold.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled to your liking. Give it a gentle stir to combine all ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw.
