Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and sugar together to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice of the lime quarters into the glass, adding the wedges directly into the mixture. Continue to muddle gently to combine the flavors.
