Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass, then add the lime halves as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the oils and juices. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too finely.

2. 2

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture in the glass, then stir gently to combine the flavors.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to fill the glass completely.

4. 4

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

5. 5

   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.
