Mojito Base
Method
Preparation
- 1
Mint Preparation
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Do not shred the leaves; you simply want to bruise them.

Lime and Sugar Mixing
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from two of the wedges into the glass with the mint leaves. Add the granulated sugar to the glass. Use the muddler to mix and dissolve the sugar in the lime juice, continuing to press the mint leaves gently.

Adding Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
