Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, 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 while mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much, as you want to keep the flavor without creating a mushy mixture.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely into the lime juice.
- 3
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
