Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the whole lime, cut into quarters. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint and lime together. This releases the mint oils and lime juice, which are essential for flavor.

2. 2

   Add Simple Syrup and Rum

   Pour in the simple syrup, which adds sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime. Next, add the white rum to the mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3. 3

   Add Ice and Club Soda

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink. Then, pour club soda over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level. Stir lightly to combine everything without losing the fizz.

4. 4

   Garnish and Serve

   Finally, garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
