Mojito Recipe

Prepare the Mint and Lime

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 oils, mixing them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with mint and sugar. You can reserve the other half for garnish. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar.

Add Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine with the mint, lime juice, and sugar mixture.

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your Mojito with a slice of the reserved lime and a few extra mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw.
