Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint oils.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and continue to muddle gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass and mix well with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as needed.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Slowly pour soda water over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
