Mojito Ingredients

Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much, as you want to keep the flavor fresh.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also cut the other half into wedges and add it to the glass for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Pour in the Rum

    Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing them to float on the mixture.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. You can adjust the amount of soda water according to your taste preference.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
