Classic Mojito Recipe
A Mojito is a timeless cocktail that combines the refreshing flavors of lime, mint, and rum. It’s light, cool, and always a crowd-pleaser perfect for warm afternoons or evenings spent with friends. The balance of sweet, tart, and minty makes it a perfect pick-me-up.
Ingredients: 
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 teaspoons sugar (or simple syrup)
- 2 ounces white rum
- Club soda or sparkling water
- Crushed ice
- Mint sprig and lime slices for garnish
Instructions:
- Muddle the Mint and Lime
Start by adding the mint leaves and lime wedges into a tall glass. If you like it sweeter, add sugar or simple syrup at this stage. Use a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to gently crush the mint and lime. This releases the oils from the mint and the juice from the lime, which is key for that fresh, aromatic flavor. - Add the Rum
Pour in white rum, which brings a smooth, slightly sweet base that pairs perfectly with the citrus and mint. - Fill with Ice
Fill the glass with crushed ice. The more ice, the better—it will keep your Mojito cool and refreshing for longer. - Top with Soda
Fill the glass with club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine all the flavors together. - Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few slices of lime for that perfect visual finish. - Enjoy!
Your Mojito is ready to be sipped! Refresh yourself with this cool and crisp cocktail that’s sure to be the star of any gathering.
Pro Tips:
- Fresh mint is essential: It really elevates the flavor, so don’t use dried mint or mint extract.
- Muddle gently: Don’t over-muddle the mint, as it can turn bitter. Just press enough to release the oils.
- Experiment with sweetness: Adjust the sugar or syrup according to your sweetness preference.
The Mojito is more than just a drink—it’s a refreshing burst of flavor that captures the essence of summer in a glass. It’s easy to make, and once you’ve mastered it, you’ll have a drink that’s sure to impress!
