Mojito Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add it to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down to release the mint oils and lime juice. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much, as it can make the drink taste bitter.

2. 2

   Add Rum

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the drink and keep it refreshing.

4. 4

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This adds the signature fizz to your mojito.

5. 5

   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 or stirrer to mix the ingredients together.
