Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves. This releases the mint oils and combines them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
