Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Prepare the glass
Take a sturdy glass (like a highball glass) and place it on a flat surface.

Muddle the mint and sugar
Add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar into the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add lime juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also cut the other half into wedges for garnish later.
- 4
Mix with rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
