Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the glass for added flavor. Muddle the mixture again gently to combine the lime juice with the mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass and stir well to combine all ingredients together.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

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