Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

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 press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils, mixing with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add the Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also add the spent lime halves into the glass for extra flavor. Stir the mixture gently to combine the mint, sugar, and lime juice.

3. 3

   Add the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them tightly to keep the drink chilled.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Use a spoon or straw to gently stir the cocktail to combine all the ingredients.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
