Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils and mix with the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

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

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

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

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
