Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass. This will release the mint oils and flavor, mixing it with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients well.

Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir gently to incorporate the rum into the lime and mint mixture.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, to about the rim. This will chill the mixture and prepare it for the soda.
