Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint and Lime

   In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Add the granulated sugar on top. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice, mixing them with the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Rum

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

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

4. 4

   Top with Club Soda

   Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your cocktail.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish your mojito with additional mint leaves and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
