Mojito Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Muddle the mint and sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass. This releases the mint oils and combines it with the sugar.

Add lime juice
Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.
- 3
Incorporate the rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to combine all the ingredients well.
- 4
Add ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to the top, allowing the drink to chill and dilute slightly.
