Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils while mixing with the sugar. Avoid tearing the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Pour the fresh lime juice into the glass with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum into the glass over the mint, lime, and sugar mixture. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the glass to be chilled and creating a refreshing drink.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda gently over the ice until the glass is filled. This will add fizz and balance the sweetness.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
