Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and dissolve the sugar. This releases the mint oils and creates a fragrant base.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for extra flavor. Stir gently to combine the lime juice with the muddled mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Pour in Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass, mixing it well with the mint-lime mixture to ensure all flavors are combined.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing the ice to chill the mixture and create a refreshing cold cocktail.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the fizz.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
