Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

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, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also add the spent lime halves to the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

3. 3

   Pour in the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass, pouring it over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to mix.

4. 4

   Add Ice

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

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Adjust the amount of club soda based on your taste preference.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve with a straw or a stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing classic mojito!
