The Real Mojito

Looking for the perfect homemade mojito recipe? You are just a few steps away from The Real Mojito! Minty-fresh and citrusy flavors, as well as the combination of tart and sweet in this vibrant cocktail, make it just perfect.   

This simple and perfectly balanced cocktail starts with a few fresh ingredients plus sugar, ice, club soda, and of course, white rum.

Add two more lime wedges and sugar and muddle again. You don’t need to strain the mixture. Just add in the ice cubes and pour in the rum. Top with a splash of club soda, and you are good to go.
