Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Sugar

   Add the sugar to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Continue to muddle gently until the sugar begins to dissolve into the mint and lime mixture.

3. 3

   Squeeze Lime Juice

   Cut the remaining half of the lime into wedges and squeeze the juice into the glass, adding the wedges into the mixture as well.

4. 4

   Add the Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

5. 5

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes. You can use crushed ice for a more slushy texture or whole ice cubes for a classic mojito.

6. 6

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Give it a gentle stir to mix the soda with the other ingredients.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

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