Mojito Ingredients

Method

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 natural oils, while mixing with the sugar. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Rum

    Pour in the white rum into the glass with the mint, sugar, and lime mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space for the soda water.

  5. 5

    Top with Soda Water

    Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is filled. Stir gently to mix the soda water with the rest of the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
