Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Cuban Mojito.
Step 1
To create a refreshing mojito, start by taking two 12-ounce glasses and adding a teaspoon of sugar to each.
Step 2
Next, squeeze the juice from a lime wedge into each glass, then drop the wedge in for extra flavor.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to bring in the freshness—add two sprigs of vibrant mint to each glass.

Using a spoon or a muddler, gently press down on the lime and mint mixture at the bottom of the glasses.

This step is crucial as it releases those delightful flavors that will make your drink sing.
Step 6
Once you’ve muddled the ingredients, fill each glass halfway with crushed ice, creating a frosty base for your cocktail.

Pour in a generous 1/4 cup of white rum into each glass, letting the spirit mingle with the mint and lime.
Step 8
To finish off your mojito masterpiece, top each glass with club soda, giving it a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients.

For the final touch, garnish with the remaining lime wedges, adding a pop of color and a hint of citrus aroma.
