Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place 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, as you want to infuse the flavor without creating debris.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.
- 3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to combine all the flavors together.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink cold.
- 5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full, giving the drink a refreshing fizz.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
