Mojito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and cut the lime into wedges. Add the lime wedges to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add the Sugar

   Sprinkle the sugar over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Use the muddler again to mix the sugar with the mint and lime, ensuring it dissolves slightly. This helps to release more flavors.

3. 3

   Pour the Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass. Stir well to combine all the ingredients together.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will keep your cocktail chilled and refreshing.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This adds the fizzy element to your mojito.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Stir gently to mix the club soda with the other ingredients. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
