Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of the lime (squeeze it into the glass). Add the granulated sugar on top of the mint and lime.

2. 2

   Muddle the Ingredients

   Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and lime to release their flavors. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.

3. 3

   Add Rum and Ice

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.

4. 4

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
