Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and add to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the juice and essential oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Rum and Ice

   Pour the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

3. 3

   Mix and Top with Club Soda

   Stir the mixture gently to combine, ensuring the sugar dissolves. Then, top off the glass with club soda to your taste, typically around 4 oz, and stir lightly again.

4. 4

   Garnish and Serve

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