Mojito Recipe
Directions
  • Place sugar, torn or chopped pieces of mint, and lime juice in a tall container.
  • Use a muddler or the handle end of a long wooden spoon to mix the ingredients and crush the fresh mint on the bottom of the container, rubbing it around the glass to release the mint flavors. 
  • Add and mix the rum into the other ingredients that have been crushed and mixed. Strain the mixture into the Collins glass.
  • Add club soda to top off mixture; then add ice.
