Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- 3
Add White Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir the mixture gently to blend all the flavors together.

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

Top with Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the ice to fill the glass. This adds the fizzy component to your Mojito.
