Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and combine them with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into halves. Squeeze the juice of one half into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for added flavor.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour in the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Ice

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

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice and give the drink a gentle stir to mix. Adjust the amount of club soda to taste.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for a refreshing look. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
