Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
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 press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves apart too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass or shaker, ensuring to catch any seeds. If you prefer a stronger lime flavor, you can add extra lime juice.

Mix with Rum
