Mojito Recipe

Mojito Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Sugar

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them lightly.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice

   Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. If you prefer, you can also cut the lime into wedges and muddle them together with the mint and sugar.

3. 3

   Add Rum

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

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

6. 6

   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.
