Mojito Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just enough to combine with the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the lime wedges into the glass for extra flavor. Use the muddler again to gently press the lime to release more juice.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

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

4. 4

   Add Ice and Club Soda

   Fill the glass with ice cubes until full, then top with club soda. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the carbonation.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
