Nojito Ingredients

Method

Nojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Sugar

    In a 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 with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves apart too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the drink and give it that refreshing feel.

  4. 4

    Top with Soda Water

    Slowly pour the soda water over the ice, filling the glass to the brim. This will add fizz to the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your nojito with a couple of lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
