Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 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 and sugar together to release the mint oils.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop the lime halves into the glass for added flavor.

3. 3

   Mix the Cocktail

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
