Mojito Ingredients
Method
Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much, just enough to combine them with the sugar.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture, stirring gently to combine. This will help dissolve the sugar further and enhance the mint flavor.
- 3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass, stirring again to mix all the ingredients together evenly.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in to keep the drink chilled.
