Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation of Mojito

1

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

2

Add Lime Juice

Cut the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into the glass, ensuring to catch any seeds. After squeezing, drop the lime pieces into the glass as well.

3

Mix with Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass, then stir the mixture gently to combine the muddled mint, lime juice, and sugar.

4

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in as desired.

5

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
