Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint and Lime

    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 muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint's essential oils and flavors.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice into the glass over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Drop the lime wedges into the glass for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint, lime juice, and sugar. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice and Club Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour club soda over the top until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
