Mojito – How to mix
Take 1/2 Fresh lime and cut it into 4 pieces.
Put these pieces in a Highball glass and then add Sugar to it. Use the Muddler to release the lime juice.
Do not press too hard else it will release too much bitterness of lime.
Just few gentle presses should do the work.
Now take 6 – 7 fresh mint leaves in your palm and clap to bruise the leaves. This helps release Mint leaves aroma.
Now put them into the glass and gently squeeze with the Muddler.
Again, Don’t press too much. Now add Rum to it.
Crush the ice cubes using a blender into small and medium pieces.

Recommendation
