Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Directions
- 1
Prepare the mint and lime
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 crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the mint oils and flavors.

Add lime
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the glass, making sure to add the squeezed wedges as well. Muddle the mixture gently to combine the flavors.

Mix in the rum
Pour the white rum into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- 4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the mixture.
- 5
Top with club soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and rum mixture, allowing it to fizz and mix gently.
