Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar until the leaves release their aroma and oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, allowing the sugar to dissolve.
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed to keep the drink cold.
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch. Serve immediately with a straw.
