Method
Mojito Directions
Prepare the Glass
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a separate glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils.
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Add the lime juice and light rum to the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine.
Strawberry Addition (optional)
If making a Strawberry Mojito, slice the strawberries and add them to the muddled mixture. Muddle gently to release their juices.
Combine and Top with Soda
Pour the mixture over the ice-filled glass. Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
