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 and mix them with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime into wedges or halves. Squeeze the lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. You can also add the lime wedges to the glass for extra flavor. Muddle the mixture gently again to combine.

3. 3

   Add the Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine the rum with the mint-lime-sugar mixture.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring it’s packed well.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give your mojito its refreshing fizz.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

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